Nikon S80 vs Samsung ST93 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions just by viewing specifications. The pic below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S80 and ST93.

To sum up, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Samsung ST93 to provide you with greater detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S80 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
