Canon A495 vs Samsung WB350F Sensor Comparison
Often, it's difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the A495 and WB350F.
Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Samsung WB350F to deliver more detail utilizing its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older A495 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
