Sony TX100V has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features BIONZ processor. On the other hand, Sony TX9 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Bionz processor.
Below you can see the TX100V and TX9 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony TX100V and Sony TX9 Cameras
Sony TX100V and Sony TX9 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Sony TX9 has 32% larger pixel area (2.34µm 2 vs 1.76µm 2 ) compared to Sony TX100V, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Sony TX100V
or the
Sony TX9 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
