Samsung WB750 vs Sigma SD1 Merrill Sensor Comparison

Generally, it's hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specifications. The pic here will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the WB750 and SD1 Merrill.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WB750 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sigma SD1 Merrill will offer you extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged WB750 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
