Sony TX200V vs Sony W330 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its tough to picture the difference between sensor measurements purely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the TX200V and W330.

As you can see, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony TX200V to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer TX200V should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
