Samsung WB210 vs Sigma fp L Sensor Comparison

Generally, it's difficult to visualize the difference in sensor measurements simply by checking out a spec sheet. The visual here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the WB210 and fp L.

Clearly, each of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The WB210 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sigma fp L will show extra detail due to its extra 47 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older WB210 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
