Samsung NX11 vs Samsung NX3000 Sensor Comparison
Typically, it is hard to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading through a spec sheet. The picture below may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX11 and NX3000.
Clearly, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Samsung NX3000 to give you extra detail with its extra 5MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images way more aggressively. The more aged NX11 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
