Panasonic FS25 vs Samsung NX2000 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the FS25 and NX2000.

As you can see, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The FS25 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX2000 will give you extra detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more aged FS25 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
