Canon R50 vs Samsung NX1000 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, its hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing only by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the R50 and NX1000.
As you can see, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Canon R50 to offer greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The younger R50 provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
