Olympus FE-4000 vs Samsung WB250F Sensor Comparison

Generally, its tough to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through a spec sheet. The photograph here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the FE-4000 and WB250F.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Samsung WB250F to provide more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older FE-4000 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
