Samsung DV150F vs Sony T99 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the DV150F and T99.

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.
