Canon M10 vs Samsung NX10 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements just by researching a spec sheet. The photograph here will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M10 and NX10.

Clearly, both of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon M10 to provide you with extra detail with its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more recent M10 will have an advantage in sensor tech.
