Panasonic ZS5 vs Samsung WB750 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it's hard to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements simply by going through specifications. The graphic below will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the ZS5 and WB750.
Plainly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Samsung WB750 to produce extra detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older ZS5 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
