Samsung NX3000 vs Sigma fp Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is difficult to visualize the gap in sensor sizing purely by looking through technical specs. The photograph here might give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX3000 and fp.
As you can tell, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The NX3000 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Sigma fp will provide you with more detail with its extra 5 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older NX3000 will be behind in sensor innovation.
