Panasonic G6 vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing only by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic below will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the G6 and NX11.

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The G6 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Panasonic G6 will render extra detail due to its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics far more aggressively. The newer G6 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
