To sum up, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The ZS1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Samsung WB150F will deliver extra detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images far more aggressively. The older ZS1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
