Fujifilm Z30 vs Samsung WB30F Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by seeing specs. The pic here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm Z30 and WB30F.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Samsung WB30F to produce greater detail using its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm Z30 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
