Leica SL2-S vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Typically, it is very hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions just by reading through specs. The picture below might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SL2-S and NX11.
All in all, the two cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SL2-S due to its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Leica SL2-S will give you more detail having its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger SL2-S is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
