Fujifilm Z900EXR vs Samsung NX1100 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The Fujifilm Z900EXR using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Samsung NX1100 will result in extra detail with its extra 4MP.
