Nikon D50 vs Samsung GX-10 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizes only by viewing specifications. The image here should provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the D50 and GX-10.

Plainly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Samsung GX-10 to render more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images more aggressively. The more aged D50 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
