Samsung SH100 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below may give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SH100 and fp.

Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SH100 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma fp will render greater detail having its extra 11 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older SH100 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
