Generally, it can be hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The graphic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TG-630 iHS and HX400V.
Clearly, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony HX400V to result in extra detail utilizing its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older TG-630 iHS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
