Samsung NX100 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing simply by checking out specifications. The photograph below will offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the NX100 and fp.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The NX100 having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Sigma fp will produce more detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older NX100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
