Samsung NX200 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be tough to picture the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The picture here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX200 and WX350.

As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NX200 with its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Samsung NX200 will offer you more detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged NX200 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
