Samsung HZ35W vs Sony A7S III Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specifications. The pic underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the HZ35W and A7S III.
To sum up, both cameras posses the exact same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The HZ35W uses the tinier sensor which should make obtaining shallower depth of field tougher. The more aged HZ35W is going to be behind in sensor technology.
