Nikon S01 vs Samsung TL320 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at specs. The graphic here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S01 and TL320.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S01 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung TL320 will give greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The fresher S01 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
