Canon G15 vs Samsung WB50F Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it is hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizing only by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the G15 and WB50F.
As you have seen, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The G15 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB50F will produce extra detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The older G15 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
