On this page, we will be reviewing the Nikon P610 vs Samsung WB800F, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by competitors Nikon and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the P610 (16MP) and the WB800F (16MP) is relatively comparable and both cameras provide the same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The P610 was announced 2 years later than the WB800F and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Nikon P610 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Samsung WB800F being a Compact camera.

Before we go right into a full comparison, here is a short overview of how the P610 matches up vs the WB800F in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Coolpix P610 and Samsung WB800F. The whole galleries are available at Nikon P610 Gallery and Samsung WB800F Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera often, you are going to need to factor its weight and dimensions.

In many cases, it can be difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing just by going through technical specs. The photograph here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the P610 and WB800F.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions and the exact same resolution therefore you should expect comparable quality of files but you need to factor the release date of the cameras into account. The younger P610 will have a benefit in sensor technology.
