Samsung NX100 vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

Plainly, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX100 using its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Sony TX200V will give extra detail with its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged NX100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
