Samsung NX100 vs Samsung NX3000 Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it can be hard to picture the gap in sensor sizes only by viewing specifications. The pic below might provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX100 and NX3000.

Plainly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Samsung NX3000 to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged NX100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
