Nikon P7000 vs Samsung ST150F Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing just by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the P7000 and ST150F.

As you have seen, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The P7000 using its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Samsung ST150F will offer more detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The older P7000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
