Sony TX9 vs Sony A35 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it's hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing purely by looking through technical specs. The graphic here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the TX9 and A35.
As you can tell, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The TX9 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A35 will result in more detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The older TX9 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
