Samsung TL225 vs Sigma Quattro Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through a spec sheet. The picture underneath should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the TL225 and Quattro.

As you can see, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The TL225 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh trickier and the Sigma Quattro will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged TL225 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
