To sum up, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FE-25 with its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX11 will deliver extra detail having an extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged FE-25 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
