Fujifilm X-A2 vs Samsung NX300M Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-A2 and NX300M.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You can count on the Samsung NX300M to deliver greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The younger Fujifilm X-A2 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
