Panasonic FZ47 vs Samsung WB210 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
More often than not, it can be tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions merely by going over specifications. The pic underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the FZ47 and WB210.
Plainly, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Samsung WB210 to offer greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively.
