Canon N vs Samsung WB700 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is difficult to see the difference between sensor sizing only by going over specs. The visual here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the N and WB700.

All in all, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Samsung WB700 to offer greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos way more aggressively. The fresher N is going to have an advantage in sensor innovation.
