Canon RP vs Samsung NX1 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes only by checking out technical specs. The pic here might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the RP and NX1.

As you have seen, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The RP due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Samsung NX1 will show more detail utilizing its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The younger RP should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
