Samsung Galaxy NX vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

Often, it is tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing merely by looking at specifications. The photograph underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the Galaxy NX and WX350.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Galaxy NX having a larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Samsung Galaxy NX will give greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels.
