Samsung WB350F vs Sigma fp L Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading through technical specs. The visual here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the WB350F and fp L.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The WB350F because of its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field harder and the Sigma fp L will give you more detail as a result of its extra 45 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older WB350F is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
