Samsung ST93 vs Sony A7S III Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions only by going over specifications. The picture underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the ST93 and A7S III.
Plainly, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The ST93 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung ST93 will offer you extra detail utilizing its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged ST93 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
