Sony T900 vs Sony W570 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing specs. The image here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the T900 and W570.

All in all, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony W570 to render extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged T900 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
