Canon XC10 vs Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G

Its time to take a deeper look at the Canon XC10 versus Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G, one being a Large Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals Canon and Samsung. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the XC10 (12MP) and Galaxy Camera 4G (16MP) and the XC10 (1") and Galaxy Camera 4G (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor sizing.

Typically, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through a spec sheet. The photograph below will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the XC10 and Galaxy Camera 4G.

Clearly, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The XC10 due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Samsung Galaxy Camera 4G will resolve greater detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The younger XC10 will have an advantage in sensor technology.
