Samsung NX2000 vs Sony A7 II Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it can be difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing simply by researching specs. The photograph below may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX2000 and A7 II.
As you can plainly see, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The NX2000 using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Sony A7 II will provide you with greater detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older NX2000 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
