The M530 was announced 5 years earlier than the W800 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before diving in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the M530 scores against the W800 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by checking out specs. The visual below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M530 and W800.

All in all, each of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony W800 to produce extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots much more aggressively. The older M530 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
