FujiFilm S4000 vs Samsung NX300 Sensor Comparison

To sum up, the 2 cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The S4000 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung NX300 will provide greater detail with its extra 6MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics more aggressively. The older S4000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
