Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung DV150F to offer you extra detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger DV150F is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
