Sony G3 vs Sony W370 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading technical specs. The graphic underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the G3 and W370.

As you can tell, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should anticipate the Sony W370 to offer you greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older G3 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
