Samsung NX200 vs Sony A7S III Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Oftentimes, it can be hard to see the gap between sensor measurements just by going over technical specs. The graphic here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX200 and A7S III.
As you have seen, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX200 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Samsung NX200 will offer extra detail because of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older NX200 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
