Sony HX80 vs Sony TF1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the HX80 and TF1.
Clearly, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony HX80 to deliver extra detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics far more aggressively. The fresher HX80 will have a benefit in sensor tech.
