Samsung ST80 vs Sony W510 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing technical specs. The visual here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the ST80 and W510.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Samsung ST80 to provide you with greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The older ST80 will be behind in sensor technology.
