Panasonic ZS1 vs Samsung WB750 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is tough to picture the difference between sensor sizes purely by going over specifications. The picture below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the ZS1 and WB750.

Plainly, both the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The ZS1 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung WB750 will offer greater detail as a result of its extra 3MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged ZS1 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
