Sony H200 vs Sony WX150 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be tough to envision the difference between sensor sizing just by reviewing specifications. The visual here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the H200 and WX150.

Plainly, both of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony H200 to deliver greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more recent H200 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
