Panasonic G10 vs Samsung NX1 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizes merely by researching specifications. The pic underneath might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the G10 and NX1.

Plainly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The G10 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX1 will render more detail having its extra 16 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged G10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
