Nikon S570 vs Sony WX150 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is tough to envision the gap between sensor sizing simply by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S570 and WX150.

As you have seen, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Sony WX150 to offer extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The older S570 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
