Samsung WB50F vs Sigma SD10 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, its tough to picture the gap between sensor dimensions just by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB50F and SD10.

As you can see, both of the cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WB50F having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Samsung WB50F will offer greater detail with its extra 13 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher WB50F should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
