Samsung TL210 vs Sony WX220 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is hard to see the gap between sensor sizing simply by checking specifications. The graphic below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the TL210 and WX220.

Plainly, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony WX220 to give you more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older TL210 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
