Fujifilm S1500 vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes simply by going through specifications. The image here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm S1500 and NX11.

Plainly, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The Fujifilm S1500 with its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh harder and the Samsung NX11 will produce extra detail because of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm S1500 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
