The WB800F was revealed 9 years prior to the fp L and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Samsung WB800F being a Compact camera and the Sigma fp L being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight into a in depth comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the WB800F grades against the fp L for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung WB800F and Sigma fp L. The full galleries are available at Samsung WB800F Gallery and Sigma fp L Gallery.

Usually, it's tough to picture the gap in sensor sizing simply by seeing specifications. The visual underneath might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the WB800F and fp L.

To sum up, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB800F with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma fp L will show greater detail because of its extra 45MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics far more aggressively. The older WB800F will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
