Nikon Z9 vs Samsung NX10 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it is very difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z9 and NX10.
As you can see, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Z9 using its larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Nikon Z9 will give you greater detail having an extra 31 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos much more aggressively. The newer Z9 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
