FujiFilm S1600 vs Samsung WB250F Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be hard to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing specs. The pic underneath will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the S1600 and WB250F.

All in all, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Samsung WB250F to render greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged S1600 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
