Panasonic G7 vs Samsung Galaxy NX Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor measurements just by going through a spec sheet. The visual underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the G7 and Galaxy NX.

Clearly, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The G7 with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung Galaxy NX will show more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a bit more aggressively. The more recent G7 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
