Samsung TL240 vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor sizing just by reading specifications. The photograph underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the TL240 and TX200V.
Plainly, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Sony TX200V to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older TL240 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
