More often than not, its tough to picture the contrast in sensor dimensions only by viewing specifications. The pic underneath will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the FX75 and HX9V.
Plainly, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You can expect to see the Sony HX9V to render greater detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged FX75 will be behind in sensor innovation.
