Samsung WB350F vs Sony RX100 VI Sensor Comparison

Generally, its difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing simply by researching a spec sheet. The photograph below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the WB350F and RX100 VI.

Clearly, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB350F having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sony RX100 VI will result in extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots more aggressively. The older WB350F will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
