Samsung SL202 vs Sony ZV-1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it's tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by reading through technical specs. The image here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the SL202 and ZV-1.
As you can tell, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SL202 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting bokeh more challenging and the Sony ZV-1 will give you more detail utilizing its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged SL202 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
