Nikon P500 vs Samsung WB2200F Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Usually, it is difficult to visualize the difference between sensor measurements simply by looking at technical specs. The visual below may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the P500 and WB2200F.
As you can tell, both the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different MP. You can anticipate the Samsung WB2200F to give you greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older P500 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
