Samsung WB750 vs Sony A100 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by checking out a spec sheet. The image here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the WB750 and A100.

Clearly, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The WB750 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung WB750 will show greater detail having an extra 3MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher WB750 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
