Nikon D4s vs Samsung ST65 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's tough to picture the difference in sensor sizes just by seeing a spec sheet. The pic below may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the D4s and ST65.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The D4s having a larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon D4s will provide more detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more modern D4s should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
