Oftentimes, its hard to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-830 iHS and WX350.
Clearly, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different MP. You can count on the Sony WX350 to offer extra detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older TG-830 iHS is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
