Fujifilm X30 vs Samsung WB700

Let's look a little more closely at the Fujifilm X30 and Samsung WB700, both Small Sensor Compact digital cameras by manufacturers FujiFilm and Samsung. The resolution of the Fujifilm X30 (12MP) and the WB700 (14MP) is fairly similar but the Fujifilm X30 (2/3") and WB700 (1/2.3") have totally different sensor measurements.

More often than not, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm X30 and WB700.

Clearly, each of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm X30 having a larger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung WB700 will deliver greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more modern Fujifilm X30 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
