Fujifilm X-M1 vs Samsung NX3000 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions only by viewing a spec sheet. The pic underneath will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the Fujifilm X-M1 and NX3000.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Samsung NX3000 to result in more detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged Fujifilm X-M1 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
