Canon S200 vs Samsung WB150F

The following is a in depth comparison of the Canon S200 vs Samsung WB150F, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Canon and Samsung. There is a sizeable difference among the sensor resolutions of the S200 (10MP) and WB150F (14MP) and the S200 (1/1.7") and WB150F (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor size.

The S200 was revealed 2 years after the WB150F which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before going into a in depth comparison, here is a simple view of how the S200 matches up vs the WB150F when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot S200 and Samsung WB150F. The full galleries are provided at Canon S200 Gallery and Samsung WB150F Gallery.

For those who are going to travel with your camera, you'll need to factor in its weight and measurements.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have at the time. Underneath is a front view physical size comparison of the S200 compared to the WB150F.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the S200 and WB150F is 93 and 93 respectively.

In many cases, its tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions simply by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below should provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the S200 and WB150F.

Clearly, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S200 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung WB150F will result in extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent S200 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
