Canon SD990 IS vs Samsung WB2200F Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it is tough to envision the difference in sensor sizing just by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SD990 IS and WB2200F.
As you can see, each of the cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The SD990 IS featuring a larger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Samsung WB2200F will show greater detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a little more aggressively. The older SD990 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
