Canon SX220 HS vs Samsung DV150F Sensor Comparison

Often, its hard to envision the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading a spec sheet. The image here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX220 HS and DV150F.

As you can see, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Samsung DV150F to offer extra detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged SX220 HS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
