Nikon S8200 vs Samsung TL220 Sensor Comparison
Often, it is hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizes purely by going over specifications. The image below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S8200 and TL220.
Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon S8200 to offer more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more modern S8200 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
