Samsung CL80 vs Sony RX100 V Sensor Comparison
Usually, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizing only by checking out specs. The graphic underneath will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the CL80 and RX100 V.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The CL80 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony RX100 V will show extra detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The older CL80 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
