Panasonic GF7 vs Samsung NX1100 Sensor Comparison
In many cases, it is very hard to picture the difference in sensor dimensions simply by checking out specifications. The image here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the GF7 and NX1100.
To sum up, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The GF7 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX1100 will provide more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more recent GF7 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
