Canon S200 vs Samsung WB750

Its time to take a more detailed look at the Canon S200 versus Samsung WB750, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Canon and Samsung. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the S200 (10MP) and WB750 (13MP) and the S200 (1/1.7") and WB750 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The S200 was introduced 2 years later than the WB750 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a brief overview of how the S200 scores versus the WB750 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot S200 and Samsung WB750. The whole galleries are available at Canon S200 Gallery and Samsung WB750 Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to lug around your camera often, you should consider its weight and size. The Canon S200 enjoys physical dimensions of 100mm x 59mm x 26mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 1.0") having a weight of 181 grams (0.40 lbs) whilst the Samsung WB750 has specifications of 105mm x 59mm x 25mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.0") along with a weight of 193 grams (0.43 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you use at that time. Following is a front view proportions comparison of the S200 vs the WB750.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the S200 and WB750 is 93 and 93 respectively.

Normally, its difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements only by looking through technical specs. The photograph below will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S200 and WB750.

As you have seen, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S200 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung WB750 will provide you with more detail using its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent S200 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
