Samsung HZ35W has a
12.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Fujifilm XP200 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the HZ35W and XP200 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung HZ35W and Fujifilm XP200 Cameras
Samsung HZ35W and Fujifilm XP200 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 HZ35W has 32% larger pixel area compared to Fujifilm XP200, 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
Samsung HZ35W
or the
Fujifilm XP200 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
