Casio EX-ZR15 vs Samsung NX1100 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by looking through a spec sheet. The picture here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-ZR15 and NX1100.

As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The EX-ZR15 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung NX1100 will result in extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged EX-ZR15 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
