Samsung WB2200F vs Sony A7S II Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions just by seeing specifications. The image here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the WB2200F and A7S II.

To sum up, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The WB2200F using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Samsung WB2200F will show extra detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures more aggressively. The more aged WB2200F will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
