Pentax X90 vs Samsung NX200 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, its difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions simply by looking through a spec sheet. The pic below may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the X90 and NX200.
Clearly, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The X90 featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX200 will render greater detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged X90 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
