Samsung WB150F vs Sony A7S III Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor sizes merely by looking through technical specs. The picture underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the WB150F and A7S III.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The WB150F due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Samsung WB150F will render more detail due to its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The more aged WB150F will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
