Quite often, its tough to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by looking at specifications. The image here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the WX50 and M1.
Plainly, each of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The WX50 featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the YI M1 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged WX50 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
