Canon SD4000 IS vs Samsung TL220 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing merely by checking a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the SD4000 IS and TL220.

Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You should anticipate the Samsung TL220 to give you extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger SD4000 IS should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
