Sony T900 vs Sony A68 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The picture underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the T900 and A68.

As you can see, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The T900 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A68 will show extra detail using its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged T900 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
