Samsung NX1000 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, it's tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes purely by reviewing specs. The image below may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the NX1000 and WX350.
All in all, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX1000 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Samsung NX1000 will deliver greater detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged NX1000 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
