Samsung WB2200F vs Sony ZV-1 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing only by researching technical specs. The visual underneath should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB2200F and ZV-1.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The WB2200F because of its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh harder and the Sony ZV-1 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older WB2200F will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
