Samsung HZ10W vs Sony ZV-1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizes merely by going over specifications. The image underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the HZ10W and ZV-1.
Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The HZ10W using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Sony ZV-1 will offer you more detail using its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged HZ10W is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
