Samsung NX200 vs Samsung WB35F Sensor Comparison

Clearly, each of the cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The NX200 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung NX200 will provide greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged NX200 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
