Nikon A900 vs Samsung EX2F Sensor Comparison

Generally, its hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions simply by reading specifications. The image underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A900 and EX2F.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A900 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Nikon A900 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger A900 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
