FujiFilm S2800HD vs Samsung WB800F Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very tough to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reading a spec sheet. The picture below will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the S2800HD and WB800F.

Clearly, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Samsung WB800F to deliver more detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged S2800HD is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
