Fujifilm SL300 vs Samsung WB50F Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through specifications. The pic here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm SL300 and WB50F.

Plainly, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Samsung WB50F to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm SL300 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
