Ricoh PX vs Samsung NX210 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing simply by checking specs. The visual here will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the PX and NX210.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The PX because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Samsung NX210 will give greater detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older PX is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
