Canon 77D vs Samsung WB30F Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements merely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 77D and WB30F.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 77D because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Canon 77D will render extra detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos more aggressively. The fresher 77D is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
