Samsung WB2200F vs Sigma SD1

Its time to look much closer at the Samsung WB2200F and Sigma SD1, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Advanced DSLR by rivals Samsung and Sigma. The image resolution of the WB2200F (16MP) and the SD1 (15MP) is relatively well matched but the WB2200F (1/2.3") and SD1 (APS-C) use different sensor measurements.

Usually, it can be hard to imagine the difference between sensor measurements merely by checking technical specs. The photograph here should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB2200F and SD1.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB2200F because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Samsung WB2200F will resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more recent WB2200F should have an edge in sensor innovation.
