Samsung EX2F vs Samsung NX11 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements simply by going through a spec sheet. The visual here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the EX2F and NX11.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX2F using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Samsung NX11 will produce greater detail having an extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger EX2F should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
