Canon ELPH 140 IS vs Samsung TL240 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, its difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes merely by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the ELPH 140 IS and TL240.
Clearly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon ELPH 140 IS to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer ELPH 140 IS is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
