Nikon S4300 vs Samsung TL100 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by viewing specs. The pic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S4300 and TL100.

All in all, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon S4300 to provide you with more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger S4300 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
