Canon R50 vs Samsung NX3000 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Usually, it's tough to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by checking specifications. The photograph underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the R50 and NX3000.
Plainly, both the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon R50 to give you more detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more modern R50 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
