Sony T99 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The image underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the T99 and WX350.
Clearly, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Sony WX350 to offer you more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged T99 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
