Olympus SP-600 UZ vs Samsung WB50F Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is very hard to see the gap in sensor sizing purely by looking through specifications. The visual here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the SP-600 UZ and WB50F.
To sum up, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Samsung WB50F to result in more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older SP-600 UZ will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
