Canon A4000 IS vs Samsung WB250F Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions only by reviewing specifications. The picture underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the A4000 IS and WB250F.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Canon A4000 IS to offer more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The more aged A4000 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
