Samsung WB800F vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
Usually, it can be difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by seeing specs. The picture underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the WB800F and WX350.
As you can plainly see, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Sony WX350 to show more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged WB800F will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
