Often, it is difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes merely by reviewing specs. The image here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the T900 and TX30.

All in all, both cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony TX30 to offer greater detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged T900 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
