Panasonic G10 vs Samsung NX200 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by researching specs. The photograph underneath may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the G10 and NX200.

All in all, both the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The G10 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX200 will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older G10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
