Samsung Galaxy Camera 3G vs Samsung NX2000 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Galaxy Camera 3G having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Samsung NX2000 will produce more detail because of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The older Galaxy Camera 3G will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
