Samsung WB150F vs Sony A7S II Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements purely by checking specifications. The visual below might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the WB150F and A7S II.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The WB150F due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Samsung WB150F will give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older WB150F is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
