Olympus 9000 vs Samsung WB800F Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it's hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The picture here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 9000 and WB800F.
Clearly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Samsung WB800F to offer extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 9000 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
