Panasonic GF6 vs Samsung NX200 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements purely by looking through specs. The visual underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the GF6 and NX200.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The GF6 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX200 will provide you with extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent GF6 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
