Samsung WB1100F has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Canon SX70 HS has a
20.0MP (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Digic 8 processor.
Below you can see the WB1100F and SX70 HS sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung WB1100F and Canon SX70 HS Cameras
Samsung WB1100F and Canon SX70 HS 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.
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 WB1100F
or the
Canon SX70 HS ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(1/2.3-inch versus ),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
