Canon S200 vs Samsung WB800F Sensor Comparison
More often than not, its difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements only by checking out a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the S200 and WB800F.
As you can see, the two cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S200 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB800F will produce greater detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer S200 provides an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
