Canon G12 vs Samsung WB350F

Following is a in-depth overview of the Canon G12 versus Samsung WB350F, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Canon and Samsung. There is a big difference between the resolutions of the G12 (10MP) and WB350F (16MP) and the G12 (1/1.7") and WB350F (1/2.3") use totally different sensor sizing.

The G12 was introduced 4 years prior to the WB350F which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a in depth comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the G12 scores versus the WB350F in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot G12 and Samsung WB350F. The whole galleries are available at Canon G12 Gallery and Samsung WB350F Gallery.

For those who are looking to carry around your camera frequently, you are going to need to factor its weight and measurements.

Often, it's tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes simply by reviewing technical specs. The pic below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G12 and WB350F.

As you have seen, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G12 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung WB350F will offer you greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged G12 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
