Canon SX40 HS vs Samsung TL240 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements simply by looking at technical specs. The visual here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX40 HS and TL240.
As you have seen, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung TL240 to give greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern SX40 HS should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
