Usually, it can be tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing merely by going through technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SP-800 UZ and WX350.
As you can tell, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Sony WX350 to provide greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs way more aggressively. The older SP-800 UZ will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
