Samsung NX10 vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by viewing specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the NX10 and TX200V.

Plainly, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The NX10 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Sony TX200V will result in more detail due to its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The older NX10 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
