Sony HX90V vs YI M1 Sensor Comparison
Often, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading specs. The picture here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the HX90V and M1.
All in all, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The HX90V using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the YI M1 will deliver extra detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged HX90V is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
