FujiFilm S3200 vs Samsung NX1100 Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be hard to picture the difference in sensor sizes only by viewing specifications. The picture here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S3200 and NX1100.

Plainly, each of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The S3200 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX1100 will result in extra detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged S3200 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
