Samsung DV150F vs Sony A33 Sensor Comparison

To sum up, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The DV150F due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung DV150F will give more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The younger DV150F will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
