Panasonic FZ200 vs Samsung WB210 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's tough to envision the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading specs. The photograph below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FZ200 and WB210.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung WB210 to deliver more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The newer FZ200 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
