Canon EOS C70 has a
8.9MP Super 35 (26.2 x 13.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Samsung NX1100 has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Samsung NX1100's sensor provides 11.1MP more than Canon EOS C70's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the C70 and NX1100 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon EOS C70 and Samsung NX1100 Cameras
Canon EOS C70 and Samsung NX1100 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
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 EOS C70
or the
Samsung NX1100 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(Super 35 versus APS-C),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
