Nikon P7800 has a
12.0MP 1/1.7-inch (7.44 x 5.58 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Samsung TL500 has a
10.0MP 1/1.7-inch (7.44 x 5.58 mm ) sized CCD sensor .
Below you can see the P7800 and TL500 sensor size comparison.
Nikon P7800 and Samsung TL500 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 Samsung TL500 has 20% larger pixel area (4.16µm2 vs 3.46µm2) compared to Nikon P7800, it has larger pixel area to collect light hence potential to have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Nikon P7800 and Samsung TL500 sensors have been tested by DxoMark.
