FujiFilm T300 vs Samsung TL500 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the T300 and TL500.

As you can see, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The T300 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the FujiFilm T300 will offer greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The fresher T300 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
