Samsung ST700 vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing just by looking through specifications. The visual here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the ST700 and TX200V.

Plainly, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony TX200V to result in more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older ST700 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
