Canon SX200 IS vs Samsung NX2000

Lets look a bit more closely at the Canon SX200 IS versus Samsung NX2000, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by brands Canon and Samsung. There exists a huge gap between the resolutions of the SX200 IS (12MP) and NX2000 (20MP) and the SX200 IS (1/2.3") and NX2000 (APS-C) offer totally different sensor sizes.

Sometimes, it is hard to envision the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading through technical specs. The image here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the SX200 IS and NX2000.

As you have seen, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SX200 IS due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX2000 will resolve greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SX200 IS is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
