Samsung NX10 vs Samsung NX300 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes only by going over a spec sheet. The picture below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX10 and NX300.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can expect to see the Samsung NX300 to offer you greater detail using its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NX10 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
