Samsung WB150F vs YI M1 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very tough to envision the difference between sensor sizing simply by looking at a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB150F and M1.

Clearly, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The WB150F featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the YI M1 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older WB150F is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
