FujiFilm Z70 vs Samsung NX300 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by going over specifications. The image here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the Z70 and NX300.

Plainly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Z70 using its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX300 will offer greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged Z70 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
