Samsung WB2200F vs Sony RX100 VII Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements purely by checking out specs. The visual here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the WB2200F and RX100 VII.

All in all, both of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB2200F featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony RX100 VII will produce extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older WB2200F will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
