Olympus 5010 vs Samsung NX1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by reviewing specifications. The image below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 5010 and NX1.

To sum up, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 5010 because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX1 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics more aggressively. The more aged 5010 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
