Samsung Galaxy Camera vs Samsung NX200 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's hard to picture the difference in sensor sizes merely by looking through specs. The picture here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Galaxy Camera and NX200.

All in all, both the cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Galaxy Camera with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX200 will render extra detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The newer Galaxy Camera should have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
