Samsung MV800 vs Samsung NX2000 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it's tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading specifications. The image underneath should give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the MV800 and NX2000.

Plainly, both of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The MV800 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Samsung NX2000 will offer greater detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged MV800 is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
