Fujifilm Real 3D W3 vs Samsung NX1 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing simply by checking out a spec sheet. The photograph below should give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm Real 3D W3 and NX1.

As you can see, both of these cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm Real 3D W3 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung NX1 will show greater detail using its extra 18 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older Fujifilm Real 3D W3 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
