FujiFilm S2950 vs Samsung ST150F Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specs. The image here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S2950 and ST150F.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Samsung ST150F to offer you more detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S2950 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
