Samsung GX-10 vs Samsung SL820 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor sizing simply by viewing specifications. The visual here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the GX-10 and SL820.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The GX-10 featuring a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung SL820 will result in extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older GX-10 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
