Samsung WB2200F vs Sony WX500 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, its hard to envision the contrast in sensor sizing merely by researching specs. The visual below might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the WB2200F and WX500.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Sony WX500 to result in more detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older WB2200F will be behind in sensor tech.
