Panasonic FZ35 vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing just by seeing specifications. The graphic underneath might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the FZ35 and NX11.

Plainly, the 2 cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The FZ35 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Samsung NX11 will produce more detail having an extra 3MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively.
