Sony H200 vs Sony TX9 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions purely by checking technical specs. The pic here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the H200 and TX9.

As you can tell, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Sony H200 to resolve extra detail having an extra 8MP. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The newer H200 is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
