Olympus SP-600 UZ vs Samsung WB1100F

Here is a extensive review of the Olympus SP-600 UZ and Samsung WB1100F, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by manufacturers Olympus and Samsung.

The SP-600 UZ was manufactured 4 years earlier than the WB1100F and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Olympus SP-600 UZ being a Compact camera and the Samsung WB1100F being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going straight to a full comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the SP-600 UZ scores vs the WB1100F with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Sometimes, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizing merely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual below should give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SP-600 UZ and WB1100F.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size but different MP. You should expect to see the Samsung WB1100F to show more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older SP-600 UZ will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
