Panasonic FH22 vs Samsung NX200 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes only by looking at specifications. The image here should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the FH22 and NX200.

Plainly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The FH22 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung NX200 will give you extra detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged FH22 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
