Samsung CL5 vs Samsung CL80 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's tough to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by going over a spec sheet. The visual here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the CL5 and CL80.

As you can see, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The CL5 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung CL80 will offer you greater detail because of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The older CL5 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
