Sony TX1 vs Sony TX20

Let's examine more closely at the Sony TX1 versus Sony TX20, both Ultracompact digital cameras and both of them are created by Sony. There exists a big gap between the sensor resolutions of the TX1 (10MP) and TX20 (16MP) and the TX1 (1/2.4") and TX20 (1/2.3") come with different sensor dimensions.

The TX1 was introduced 3 years earlier than the TX20 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before delving through a thorough comparison, below is a simple view of how the TX1 matches up versus the TX20 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you select at that moment. The following is the front view dimension comparison of the TX1 vs the TX20.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the TX1 and TX20 is 96 and 96 respectively.

Normally, its hard to picture the contrast between sensor measurements simply by looking at specifications. The graphic underneath may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TX1 and TX20.

To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The TX1 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Sony TX20 will give you more detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The older TX1 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
