Canon M10 vs Samsung NX1100 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic below will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the M10 and NX1100.

As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Samsung NX1100 to result in more detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern M10 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
