Sony T900 vs Sony TX5 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is difficult to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking specs. The image underneath may offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the T900 and TX5.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The T900 with its larger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony T900 will give you greater detail with its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged T900 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
