Samsung WB1100F vs Sigma fp L Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The picture underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the WB1100F and fp L.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WB1100F using its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Sigma fp L will provide more detail having an extra 45 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged WB1100F will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
