The sensor resolution of Cyber-shot DSC-HX7V is greater than that of TL500. The difference of 6 MP is quite a lot. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
