Samsung ST93 vs Samsung TL225 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions only by reading through a spec sheet. The image here might give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the ST93 and TL225.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Samsung ST93 to give you more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger ST93 is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
