Panasonic S1R vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be hard to see the gap between sensor sizing simply by reading through specs. The photograph below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the S1R and NX11.

All in all, both of these cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S1R having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Panasonic S1R will give greater detail having an extra 32MP. Greater resolution will let you crop images a little more aggressively. The newer S1R is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
