Samsung NX200 vs Sony A7c Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor dimensions simply by going through specifications. The pic underneath might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the NX200 and A7c.

Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NX200 featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony A7c will show extra detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged NX200 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
