Nikon S01 vs Samsung TL225 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizes only by reviewing specifications. The pic below might provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S01 and TL225.

To sum up, both cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S01 due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Samsung TL225 will offer you greater detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern S01 should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
