Samsung GX-20 vs Samsung ST150F Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The GX-20 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Samsung ST150F will provide you with greater detail having an extra 1MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images a little more aggressively. The more aged GX-20 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
