Samsung WB50F vs Sigma SD10

Let's look much closer at the Samsung WB50F and Sigma SD10, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced DSLR by rivals Samsung and Sigma. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the WB50F (16MP) and SD10 (3MP) and the WB50F (1/2.3") and SD10 (APS-C) come with different sensor measurements.

The WB50F was announced 9 years after the SD10 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Samsung WB50F being a Compact camera and the Sigma SD10 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before getting through a step-by-step comparison, below is a brief view of how the WB50F scores vs the SD10 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Samsung WB50F and Sigma SD10. The whole galleries are viewable at Samsung WB50F Gallery and Sigma SD10 Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera, you are going to need to factor in its weight and proportions.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have at that time. The following is the front view measurements comparison of the WB50F versus the SD10.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the WB50F and SD10 is 92 and 54 respectively.

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.
