Samsung GX-1S vs Samsung ST700 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the GX-1S and ST700.

Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The GX-1S due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung ST700 will give more detail having its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older GX-1S is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
