Samsung WB35F vs Sony A7c Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing just by going over technical specs. The photograph here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB35F and A7c.

As you have seen, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB35F because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sony A7c will offer you greater detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The older WB35F is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
