FujiFilm S1600 vs Samsung PL210 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading specs. The pic here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S1600 and PL210.

All in all, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Samsung PL210 to offer extra detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S1600 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
