Canon ELPH 530 HS vs Samsung WB800F Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, it is hard to visualise the gap in sensor sizes only by looking through technical specs. The picture underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the ELPH 530 HS and WB800F.
As you can tell, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Samsung WB800F to provide you with more detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged ELPH 530 HS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
