Canon SX400 IS vs Samsung NX200

Lets look a little more in depth at the Canon SX400 IS vs Samsung NX200, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Samsung. The image resolution of the SX400 IS (16MP) and the NX200 (20MP) is fairly close but the SX400 IS (1/2.3") and NX200 (APS-C) posses totally different sensor measurements.

In many cases, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor sizes simply by researching a spec sheet. The image underneath might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX400 IS and NX200.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The SX400 IS due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung NX200 will provide you with greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The more recent SX400 IS is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
