Samsung WB210 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be hard to visualise the difference between sensor sizing just by looking at technical specs. The graphic underneath may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB210 and WX350.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony WX350 to give you extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The older WB210 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
