Samsung NX200 vs Sony RX100 V Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions simply by going through specs. The pic underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX200 and RX100 V.

All in all, each of the cameras have the same megapixel count albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The NX200 contains the bigger sensor which is going to make achieving shallower DOF easier. The more aged NX200 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
