Sony HX10V vs Sony W810 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very hard to envision the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath should give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the HX10V and W810.

As you can see, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Sony W810 to deliver extra detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged HX10V is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
