Canon SX530 HS vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The SX530 HS having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Canon SX530 HS will give you more detail having an extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger SX530 HS is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
