Samsung CL80 vs Sony TF1 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at specifications. The image here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the CL80 and TF1.

Plainly, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should anticipate the Sony TF1 to give you greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged CL80 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
