Samsung WB750 vs Sony A7R II Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing merely by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic here will help give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the WB750 and A7R II.

Clearly, both of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The WB750 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A7R II will show more detail with its extra 29 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The older WB750 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
