Nikon L24 vs Samsung EX2F Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions just by viewing specifications. The picture here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the L24 and EX2F.

To sum up, both of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The L24 with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Nikon L24 will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged L24 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
