Ricoh G700SE vs Samsung NX1 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes only by looking through a spec sheet. The picture below may give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the G700SE and NX1.

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G700SE having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF tougher and the Samsung NX1 will provide you with more detail because of its extra 16MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged G700SE will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
