Canon 10D vs Samsung GX-10 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it's tough to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by seeing specs. The pic underneath might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 10D and GX-10.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Samsung GX-10 to show more detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images more aggressively. The more aged 10D will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
