Samsung NX300 vs Sony FX3 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Quite often, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor sizing purely by looking through technical specs. The graphic below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the NX300 and FX3.
As you have seen, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The NX300 with its smaller sensor will make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Samsung NX300 will result in greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images far more aggressively. The older NX300 will be behind in sensor innovation.
