Samsung HZ35W vs Sony H90 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by going through technical specs. The visual underneath should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the HZ35W and H90.

As you can tell, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different resolution. You should anticipate the Sony H90 to show greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The older HZ35W will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
