Canon 10D vs Samsung GX-20 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions purely by looking at technical specs. The pic underneath may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 10D and GX-20.

As you have seen, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Samsung GX-20 to give extra detail because of its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The more aged 10D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
