FujiFilm S2950 vs Samsung WB800F Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very tough to envision the difference in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the S2950 and WB800F.

As you can see, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Samsung WB800F to render greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older S2950 will be behind in sensor innovation.
