FujiFilm S2950 vs Samsung NX2000 Sensor Comparison

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The S2950 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Samsung NX2000 will result in extra detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older S2950 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
