Samsung NX mini vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

More often than not, its tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes merely by viewing specifications. The pic here should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the NX mini and fp.

Plainly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX mini having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Sigma fp will provide you with more detail having an extra 4.5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NX mini will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
