To sum up, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The TL500 having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung WB2200F will offer greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs more aggressively. The older TL500 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
