Leica V-Lux 4 vs Samsung WB2200F Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it is very tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes purely by looking at technical specs. The image below will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the V-Lux 4 and WB2200F.
As you have seen, both cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Samsung WB2200F to resolve more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged V-Lux 4 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
