Samsung TL350 vs Sony NEX-3N Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing simply by going through specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the TL350 and NEX-3N.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TL350 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Sony NEX-3N will provide greater detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The older TL350 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
