Panasonic FH20 vs Samsung NX100 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing merely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the FH20 and NX100.
As you can see, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The FH20 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Samsung NX100 will result in extra detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older FH20 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
