Nikon S1000pj vs Samsung DV300F Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements simply by researching specifications. The photograph below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1000pj and DV300F.

Plainly, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Samsung DV300F to result in extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The older S1000pj will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
