Samsung HZ35W vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions just by seeing specs. The pic here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the HZ35W and TX200V.
All in all, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Sony TX200V to produce greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged HZ35W will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
