Samsung TL320 vs Samsung WB30F Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes simply by going over a spec sheet. The pic here will give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the TL320 and WB30F.

As you can see, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Samsung WB30F to offer you greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged TL320 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
