Samsung NX300M vs Sigma Quattro H Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor sizes just by reading through technical specs. The picture here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX300M and Quattro H.

As you have seen, both the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The NX300M featuring a tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sigma Quattro H will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 25 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos more aggressively. The more aged NX300M is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
