Sony T99 vs Sony W810 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through a spec sheet. The picture underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the T99 and W810.

Clearly, both the cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should count on the Sony W810 to give you more detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged T99 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
