Samsung TL240 vs Sony W810 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it is very hard to see the gap in sensor sizes purely by researching specifications. The pic underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TL240 and W810.
Plainly, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Sony W810 to result in more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged TL240 will be behind in sensor innovation.
