Samsung NX1100 vs Sony HX200V Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX1100 and HX200V.

Clearly, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The NX1100 with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung NX1100 will render greater detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The younger NX1100 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
