To sum up, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Samsung DV150F to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger D30 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
