Casio EX-ZR700 vs Samsung NX1000 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is hard to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing purely by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR700 and NX1000.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The EX-ZR700 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung NX1000 will show more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more recent EX-ZR700 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
