Sony NEX-5T vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NEX-5T having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Sony H200 will deliver more detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more modern NEX-5T should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
