Samsung WB250F vs Sigma DP2s Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements purely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB250F and DP2s.

Clearly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB250F having a tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung WB250F will give you more detail because of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The more recent WB250F should have an edge in sensor tech.
