Nikon S630 vs Samsung WB210 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very hard to see the difference between sensor sizes purely by going over a spec sheet. The image underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the S630 and WB210.

As you can see, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Samsung WB210 to offer you greater detail having an extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged S630 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
