Normally, it can be difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions only by checking specifications. The image here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S1100pj and NX300.

To sum up, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The S1100pj with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX300 will resolve extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged S1100pj is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
