Canon S110 vs Samsung SL102 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S110 with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon S110 will give more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern S110 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
