Canon SX130 IS vs Samsung WB35F Sensor Comparison

Generally, its hard to see the difference between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The pic underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SX130 IS and WB35F.

Clearly, both cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Samsung WB35F to give greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX130 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
