Nikon L810 vs Samsung TL500 Sensor Comparison

All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The L810 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon L810 will provide more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The newer L810 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
