FujiFilm S1800 has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Samsung WB50F has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the S1800 and WB50F sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of FujiFilm S1800 and Samsung WB50F Cameras
FujiFilm S1800 and Samsung WB50F have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since FujiFilm S1800 has 32% larger pixel area compared to Samsung WB50F, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
FujiFilm S1800
or the
Samsung WB50F ,
including hyperfocal distance.
