Canon 100D has a
18.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5 processor. On the other hand, Samsung NX210 has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the 100D and NX210 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon 100D and Samsung NX210 Cameras
As seen above, Samsung NX210 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon 100D. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Canon 100D and Samsung NX210 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that NX210 has a better overall score of 71, 8 points higher compared to 100D's score of 63.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon 100D
or the
Samsung NX210 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
