Sony S2000 vs Sony W510 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading through specifications. The picture here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S2000 and W510.

Plainly, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony W510 to give extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged S2000 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
