Samsung WB2200F vs YI M1 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, its hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements simply by viewing specs. The graphic below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the WB2200F and M1.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB2200F using its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the YI M1 will result in extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older WB2200F will be behind in sensor innovation.
