Samsung NX10 vs Sony HX9V Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements simply by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX10 and HX9V.

As you can see, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The NX10 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Sony HX9V will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The older NX10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
