Canon SX1 IS vs Samsung WB2200F Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Often, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions merely by researching specs. The picture here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SX1 IS and WB2200F.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Samsung WB2200F to render greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged SX1 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
