Sony H200 vs Sony TX7 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes only by looking through specifications. The image here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the H200 and TX7.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The H200 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Sony H200 will provide you with more detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images far more aggressively. The fresher H200 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
