Panasonic SZ10 vs Samsung WB210 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Normally, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor sizes just by going through a spec sheet. The pic here will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the SZ10 and WB210.
As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Panasonic SZ10 to produce extra detail utilizing its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The fresher SZ10 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
