Samsung NX1100 vs Sony ZV-E10 Sensor Comparison

In many cases, it is very hard to envision the gap between sensor sizes simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the NX1100 and ZV-E10.

As you can see, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Sony ZV-E10 to deliver more detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged NX1100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
