Samsung TL320 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes purely by going over technical specs. The image underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the TL320 and WX350.

As you can tell, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony WX350 to offer you more detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TL320 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
