Nikon L100 vs Samsung ST150F Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be tough to envision the difference between sensor measurements merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the L100 and ST150F.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Samsung ST150F to offer greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older L100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
