FujiFilm S1600 vs Samsung NX1 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it can be difficult to picture the gap between sensor sizes only by going over specs. The pic here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1600 and NX1.

All in all, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The S1600 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung NX1 will offer more detail having its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged S1600 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
