Olympus TG-870 vs Samsung NX1000 Sensor Comparison
Generally, it can be tough to see the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading a spec sheet. The pic underneath might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the TG-870 and NX1000.
As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The TG-870 due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Samsung NX1000 will deliver extra detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The younger TG-870 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
