Canon G12 vs Samsung ST150F Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The G12 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Samsung ST150F will provide you with greater detail utilizing its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged G12 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
