Samsung NX20 vs Samsung WB35F

Lets examine more in depth at the Samsung NX20 and Samsung WB35F, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both built by Samsung. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the NX20 (20MP) and WB35F (16MP) and the NX20 (APS-C) and WB35F (1/2.3") come with different sensor measurements.

More often than not, it is difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements simply by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below should give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX20 and WB35F.

Clearly, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The NX20 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Samsung NX20 will result in greater detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older NX20 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
