Panasonic G100 vs Samsung NX10 Sensor Comparison

Typically, its tough to envision the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading technical specs. The image underneath may give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the G100 and NX10.

As you have seen, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G100 because of its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Panasonic G100 will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more recent G100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
