Canon G16 vs Samsung TL500 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it's tough to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by going over a spec sheet. The graphic here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the G16 and TL500.

As you can see, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Canon G16 to offer more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The younger G16 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
