Lets look a little more closely at the Panasonic ZS7 and Samsung WB350F, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Panasonic and Samsung. There is a crucial difference between the resolutions of the ZS7 (12MP) and WB350F (16MP) but they come with the exact same sensor dimensions (1/2.3").

The ZS7 was released 3 years before the WB350F which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before delving in to a full comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the ZS7 matches up against the WB350F in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 and Samsung WB350F. The complete galleries are available at Panasonic ZS7 Gallery and Samsung WB350F Gallery.

In many cases, it is difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes purely by checking a spec sheet. The picture underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the ZS7 and WB350F.

Clearly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung WB350F to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged ZS7 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
