Nikon P330 vs Samsung WB50F Sensor Comparison
Normally, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions purely by checking out technical specs. The pic here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the P330 and WB50F.
As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The P330 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Samsung WB50F will provide extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged P330 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
