Panasonic S1H vs Samsung NX10 Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions just by checking technical specs. The pic here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S1H and NX10.

As you have seen, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S1H using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic S1H will give you more detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger S1H provides an edge in sensor tech.
