Samsung WB2200F vs Sony TX66 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, its hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizes merely by looking through technical specs. The image underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB2200F and TX66.
As you can tell, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should expect to see the Sony TX66 to render more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The more modern WB2200F provides a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
