Canon G11 vs Samsung WB350F

Here is a in depth assessment of the Canon G11 and Samsung WB350F, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Canon and Samsung. There is a big difference between the image resolutions of the G11 (10MP) and WB350F (16MP) and the G11 (1/1.7") and WB350F (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The G11 was announced 5 years before the WB350F and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before going straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a short introduction of how the G11 grades against the WB350F when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot G11 and Samsung WB350F. The whole galleries are provided at Canon G11 Gallery and Samsung WB350F Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to carry your camera regularly, you should take into account its weight and proportions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you use at the time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the G11 compared to the WB350F.

Considering size and weight, the portability rating of the G11 and WB350F is 83 and 90 respectively.

In many cases, it's tough to see the difference between sensor sizing just by reading technical specs. The visual below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the G11 and WB350F.

As you have seen, both of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G11 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB350F will deliver extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The older G11 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
