Panasonic GX9 vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be tough to picture the difference between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the GX9 and NX11.

As you can see, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The GX9 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Panasonic GX9 will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The younger GX9 should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
