Samsung WB210 vs Sony W810 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing purely by viewing specifications. The photograph underneath may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the WB210 and W810.

Plainly, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony W810 to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older WB210 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
