Samsung WB250F vs Sony H90 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizes merely by checking out specifications. The pic underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the WB250F and H90.

Plainly, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony H90 to show greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern WB250F is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
