Clearly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Samsung NX200 to offer you more detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more recent T Type 701 will have an edge in sensor innovation.
