In many cases, its tough to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by reading through a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the T900 and W560.

Clearly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but different resolution. You can expect to see the Sony W560 to give you more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos more aggressively. The more aged T900 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
