Nikon S640 vs Samsung DV150F Sensor Comparison
Typically, it is very tough to picture the difference between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The image here may give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S640 and DV150F.
Clearly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should expect the Samsung DV150F to resolve more detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged S640 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
