Panasonic G10 vs Samsung Galaxy NX Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizes just by seeing specs. The pic underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the G10 and Galaxy NX.

All in all, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The G10 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF harder and the Samsung Galaxy NX will provide extra detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged G10 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
