Samsung TL240 vs Sony TX100V Sensor Comparison

Often, it's hard to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through specifications. The pic underneath will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the TL240 and TX100V.

Plainly, both the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You can anticipate the Sony TX100V to produce more detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged TL240 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
