Sony T900 vs Sony TF1 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, its difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes purely by going over a spec sheet. The picture here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the T900 and TF1.
As you can see, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should expect to see the Sony TF1 to offer greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged T900 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
