Samsung NX11 vs Sony H400 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes merely by checking out specifications. The picture here will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX11 and H400.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The NX11 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Sony H400 will show greater detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged NX11 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
