Oftentimes, it is tough to envision the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the NX300M and A700.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Samsung NX300M to resolve greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The younger NX300M will have an advantage in sensor tech.
