Samsung WB1100F vs Sony A37

Below is a in depth overview of the Samsung WB1100F and Sony A37, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR by brands Samsung and Sony. The sensor resolution of the WB1100F (16MP) and the A37 (16MP) is relatively close but the WB1100F (1/2.3") and A37 (APS-C) posses totally different sensor size.

Usually, it's difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below will help provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB1100F and A37.

As you can see, both of these cameras have the same resolution albeit not the same sensor measurements. The WB1100F contains the smaller sensor which is going to make obtaining shallower depth of field harder. The younger WB1100F will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
