Canon SX220 HS vs Samsung WB2200F

Here is a in-depth review of the Canon SX220 HS versus Samsung WB2200F, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by competitors Canon and Samsung. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the SX220 HS (12MP) and WB2200F (16MP) but both cameras have the same sensor size (1/2.3").

Photography Glossary

The SX220 HS was brought out 3 years prior to the WB2200F and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Canon SX220 HS being a Compact camera and the Samsung WB2200F being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the SX220 HS matches up vs the WB2200F with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon SX220 HS and Samsung WB2200F. The entire galleries are available at Canon SX220 HS Gallery and Samsung WB2200F Gallery.

If you're planning to carry your camera often, you will need to factor its weight and measurements.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have attached during that time. Below is a front view proportions comparison of the SX220 HS vs the WB2200F.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX220 HS and WB2200F is 96 and 59 respectively.

Typically, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the SX220 HS and WB2200F.

Clearly, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Samsung WB2200F to offer more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older SX220 HS is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
