Canon S200 vs Samsung WB850F Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S200 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung WB850F will show extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more modern S200 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
