Samsung TL320 vs Sony H300 Sensor Comparison

Normally, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing just by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the TL320 and H300.

As you can see, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony H300 to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older TL320 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
