Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing specs. The pic underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the Galaxy Camera 2 and WX350.
As you can plainly see, each of the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony WX350 to offer extra detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively.
