Samsung DV150F vs Sony A700 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The DV150F with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung DV150F will result in more detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The fresher DV150F should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
