Canon ELPH 150 IS vs Samsung ST600 Sensor Comparison

Usually, its difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 150 IS and ST600.

Clearly, each of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon ELPH 150 IS to offer extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The newer ELPH 150 IS will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
