Canon G16 vs Samsung DV150F Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to see the difference in sensor measurements simply by viewing technical specs. The visual below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the G16 and DV150F.

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G16 with its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Samsung DV150F will result in more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent G16 is going to have an advantage in sensor tech.
