Samsung NX1000 vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through technical specs. The graphic below might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX1000 and Quattro H.

As you can tell, each of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The NX1000 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more challenging and the Sigma Quattro H will provide you with extra detail having its extra 25 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The older NX1000 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
