Samsung WB150F vs Zeiss ZX1

Lets look a bit more in depth at the Samsung WB150F and Zeiss ZX1, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Samsung and Zeiss. There exists a huge gap among the sensor resolutions of the WB150F (14MP) and ZX1 (37MP) and the WB150F (1/2.3") and ZX1 (Full frame) enjoy totally different sensor size.

Normally, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by researching specs. The graphic here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the WB150F and ZX1.

All in all, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB150F because of its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Zeiss ZX1 will provide you with extra detail having its extra 23MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots much more aggressively. The older WB150F will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
