Samsung NX2000 vs Samsung TL225 Sensor Comparison

As you can see, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The NX2000 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Samsung NX2000 will produce greater detail because of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more recent NX2000 provides a benefit in sensor innovation.
