Samsung NX100 vs Samsung NX2000 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Samsung NX2000 to offer you extra detail having its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older NX100 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
