FujiFilm S2800HD vs Samsung WB50F Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements merely by researching specifications. The graphic here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S2800HD and WB50F.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung WB50F to result in more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older S2800HD will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
