To sum up, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung DV150F to produce more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX1 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
