Panasonic GH5S vs Samsung NX3000 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements simply by reviewing specifications. The photograph here will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the GH5S and NX3000.

To sum up, both of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The GH5S because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX3000 will offer you extra detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The younger GH5S provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
