Samsung WB1100F vs Sony NEX-7

Below is a extensive comparison of the Samsung WB1100F vs Sony NEX-7, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Samsung and Sony. There is a crucial difference among the resolutions of the WB1100F (16MP) and NEX-7 (24MP) and the WB1100F (1/2.3") and NEX-7 (APS-C) have different sensor sizing.

The WB1100F was manufactured 2 years later than the NEX-7 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Samsung WB1100F being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony NEX-7 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving into a complete comparison, here is a concise overview of how the WB1100F matches up vs the NEX-7 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

In many cases, it is hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements purely by going through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB1100F and NEX-7.

As you can see, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB1100F featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony NEX-7 will show more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger WB1100F should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
