Samsung WB2200F vs Sony A7S III Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the WB2200F and A7S III.

As you can see, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The WB2200F with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Samsung WB2200F will offer you more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots much more aggressively. The older WB2200F is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
