Samsung DV150F vs Samsung NX20 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is tough to visualize the gap between sensor sizing purely by checking specs. The photograph here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the DV150F and NX20.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The DV150F due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX20 will give you extra detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics far more aggressively. The more modern DV150F should have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
