Sony H200 vs Sony W380 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizing merely by seeing specs. The visual here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the H200 and W380.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should anticipate the Sony H200 to provide greater detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more modern H200 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
