Samsung TL320 vs Sony TX7 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TL320 and TX7.

Clearly, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The TL320 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Samsung TL320 will give greater detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged TL320 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
