Canon SX200 IS vs Samsung WB700 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing simply by checking out a spec sheet. The visual below might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX200 IS and WB700.

Clearly, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung WB700 to show extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older SX200 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
