Nikon P330 vs Samsung WB350F Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is tough to picture the gap between sensor sizes just by reading a spec sheet. The pic here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the P330 and WB350F.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The P330 with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung WB350F will offer greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged P330 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
