Samsung NX1100 vs Sigma fp L Sensor Comparison

Typically, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over a spec sheet. The pic here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the NX1100 and fp L.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The NX1100 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field tougher and the Sigma fp L will offer greater detail with its extra 41MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NX1100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
