Nikon L20 vs Samsung WB750 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions purely by looking through a spec sheet. The picture underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the L20 and WB750.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should expect the Samsung WB750 to provide you with extra detail due to its extra 3MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged L20 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
