Ricoh CX6 vs Samsung WB35F Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it's hard to envision the difference in sensor measurements purely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the CX6 and WB35F.

Clearly, each of these cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Samsung WB35F to show extra detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older CX6 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
