Nikon A900 vs Samsung WB800F Sensor Comparison

To sum up, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon A900 to show more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The more recent A900 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
