Casio EX-Z33 vs Samsung WB30F Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor sizes purely by checking out specs. The picture underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-Z33 and WB30F.

All in all, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung WB30F to show extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged EX-Z33 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
