Nikon 1 V2 vs Samsung NX2000 Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is hard to picture the contrast in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph underneath will help provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1 V2 and NX2000.
As you can see, both cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1 V2 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Samsung NX2000 will provide you with greater detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older 1 V2 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
