Nikon L28 vs Samsung TL500 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to picture the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading specs. The visual here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the L28 and TL500.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The L28 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Nikon L28 will offer extra detail having an extra 10MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger L28 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
