Below, we are analyzing the Sony TX20 versus Sony WX220, both Ultracompact digital cameras and they are both manufactured by Sony. The resolution of the TX20 (16MP) and the WX220 (18MP) is very well matched and they use the exact same sensor size (1/2.3").

The TX20 was introduced 23 months prior to the WX220 making the cameras a generation away from each other. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Ultracompact).

Before we go in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the TX20 scores vs the WX220 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Generally, its tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizes only by looking at specifications. The image below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the TX20 and WX220.

Plainly, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony WX220 to give more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TX20 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
