Samsung SL620 vs Sony W380 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualise the difference between sensor sizes only by reading through a spec sheet. The image underneath will provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SL620 and W380.
Clearly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can expect the Sony W380 to resolve extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SL620 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
