Canon 350D vs Samsung ST6500 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The pic underneath will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 350D and ST6500.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 350D featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung ST6500 will render greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged 350D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
