Samsung WB150F vs Sony A700 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be tough to picture the contrast between sensor measurements just by reading through technical specs. The graphic here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the WB150F and A700.

As you have seen, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB150F due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung WB150F will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The fresher WB150F should have an edge in sensor technology.
