Often, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements purely by viewing specifications. The visual underneath will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-820 iHS and WB350F.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You should count on the Samsung WB350F to render greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older TG-820 iHS will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
