Samsung TL100 vs Samsung WB50F Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes only by reviewing technical specs. The picture below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the TL100 and WB50F.

As you can tell, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You can expect the Samsung WB50F to offer you greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged TL100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
