Samsung WB750 vs Sony RX100 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing merely by going over technical specs. The visual here will help provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the WB750 and RX100.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB750 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Sony RX100 will offer more detail due to its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older WB750 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
