Sony WX10 vs Sony A77 Sensor Comparison
Normally, it can be tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by checking out specifications. The photograph here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the WX10 and A77.
Plainly, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The WX10 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Sony A77 will show greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older WX10 will be behind in sensor innovation.
