Samsung EX2F vs Samsung NX1000 Sensor Comparison

Generally, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing simply by checking a spec sheet. The visual below will help give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the EX2F and NX1000.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX2F due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX1000 will give you more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent EX2F is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
