Casio EX-H30 vs Samsung NX2000 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The visual here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-H30 and NX2000.

To sum up, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-H30 featuring a smaller sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX2000 will show more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older EX-H30 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
