Samsung TL205 vs Sigma Quattro Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at specs. The graphic underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the TL205 and Quattro.

All in all, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The TL205 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sigma Quattro will give you more detail due to its extra 17 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older TL205 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
