To sum up, both cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You can anticipate the Samsung NX500 to provide you with greater detail because of its extra 13 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics far more aggressively. The more aged NX10 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
