Ricoh G700SE vs Samsung NX2000 Sensor Comparison

To sum up, both cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The G700SE due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Samsung NX2000 will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older G700SE will be behind in sensor tech.
