Fujifilm S1 vs Samsung Galaxy NX Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements merely by going through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S1 and Galaxy NX.

As you can see, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S1 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung Galaxy NX will show extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm S1 should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
