Sony T90 vs Sony WX9 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The visual here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the T90 and WX9.

Plainly, the two cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony WX9 to offer you more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older T90 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
