Often, it is tough to visualize the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading specifications. The photograph underneath will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the RX100 V and TX66.

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The RX100 V with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony RX100 V will deliver more detail with its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern RX100 V provides an edge in sensor tech.
