Nikon S7000 vs Sony TX9 Sensor Comparison
Often, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes simply by viewing a spec sheet. The image here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S7000 and TX9.
Clearly, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Nikon S7000 to result in greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The more modern S7000 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
