Samsung NX11 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to envision the contrast in sensor measurements purely by going through a spec sheet. The visual here will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX11 and fp.

As you can see, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX11 using its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp will produce extra detail having an extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots way more aggressively. The older NX11 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
