Casio EX-ZR800 vs Samsung NX3000 Sensor Comparison

Often, its tough to visualise the difference between sensor dimensions merely by reviewing specifications. The image here will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX-ZR800 and NX3000.

Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-ZR800 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX3000 will deliver extra detail having its extra 4MP.
