Nikon S800c vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
More often than not, its hard to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by checking specifications. The visual here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S800c and WX350.
Plainly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Sony WX350 to resolve extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older S800c is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
