Samsung WB250F vs Sony RX100 V

Its time to look more closely at the Samsung WB250F vs Sony RX100 V, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by brands Samsung and Sony. There is a large difference between the sensor resolutions of the WB250F (14MP) and RX100 V (20MP) and the WB250F (1/2.3") and RX100 V (1") boast totally different sensor size.

The WB250F was brought out 4 years prior to the RX100 V and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Samsung WB250F being a Compact camera and the Sony RX100 V being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick overview of how the WB250F grades against the RX100 V in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Oftentimes, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor measurements only by looking at technical specs. The graphic here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB250F and RX100 V.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The WB250F featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Sony RX100 V will give you greater detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older WB250F is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
