Samsung WB1100F vs Sony A7 III

The following is a thorough overview of the Samsung WB1100F versus Sony A7 III, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Samsung and Sony. There is a sizeable difference among the resolutions of the WB1100F (16MP) and A7 III (24MP) and the WB1100F (1/2.3") and A7 III (Full frame) provide totally different sensor sizes.

The WB1100F was revealed 5 years earlier than the A7 III which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Samsung WB1100F being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony A7 III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the WB1100F matches up vs the A7 III when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Often, it is difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions only by checking out a spec sheet. The pic below may provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB1100F and A7 III.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WB1100F with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A7 III will produce more detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more aged WB1100F will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
