14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.08 x 4.56 mm ) sized CCD sensor and features Venus Engine HD II processor.
Below you can see the WB30F and ZR3 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung WB30F and Panasonic ZR3 Cameras
Samsung WB30F and Panasonic ZR3 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the 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 WB30F
or the
Panasonic ZR3 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
