Sony TX9 vs Sony W350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it's hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading through technical specs. The visual underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the TX9 and W350.
As you have seen, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony W350 to give more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The newer TX9 should have a benefit in sensor tech.
