Samsung NX2000 vs Sony RX1R II Sensor Comparison

Typically, it can be tough to imagine the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through specifications. The visual underneath may offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the NX2000 and RX1R II.

To sum up, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The NX2000 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony RX1R II will give extra detail as a result of its extra 22MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older NX2000 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
