Nikon S01 vs Samsung TL240 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by looking at technical specs. The pic here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S01 and TL240.

As you have seen, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S01 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung TL240 will resolve extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The more recent S01 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
