Samsung EX2F vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

Generally, it's tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading technical specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the EX2F and fp.

As you have seen, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The EX2F due to its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older EX2F is going to be behind in sensor technology.
