Samsung NX10 vs Sony HX100V Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing purely by checking technical specs. The visual below should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX10 and HX100V.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The NX10 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony HX100V will resolve more detail because of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older NX10 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
