Samsung NX10 vs Sony A58 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by going through specifications. The pic underneath might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX10 and A58.

Plainly, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You should expect the Sony A58 to provide extra detail using its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots far more aggressively. The more aged NX10 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
