Pentax E90 vs Samsung ST150F Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing only by checking out specs. The visual underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the E90 and ST150F.

All in all, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Samsung ST150F to provide more detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older E90 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
