Ricoh PX vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very hard to picture the gap in sensor sizes just by going through technical specs. The pic below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the PX and NX11.

As you can tell, both cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The PX due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF tougher and the Ricoh PX will produce greater detail utilizing its extra 1MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher PX should have an advantage in sensor tech.
