All in all, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony T110 to produce greater detail as a result of its extra 7MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The older CX1 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
