Samsung WB750 vs Sony HX300 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing merely by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the WB750 and HX300.

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Sony HX300 to provide you with extra detail with its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older WB750 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
