Kodak Mini vs Samsung WB30F Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by checking out specifications. The image underneath will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Mini and WB30F.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The Mini with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung WB30F will provide greater detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Mini will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
