FujiFilm S2500HD vs Samsung NX200 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it's difficult to envision the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over technical specs. The picture here will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the S2500HD and NX200.

As you have seen, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S2500HD having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX200 will deliver extra detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The more aged S2500HD is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
