Canon M 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 Galaxy NX has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DRIMe IV processor.
Below you can see the M and Galaxy NX sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon M and Samsung Galaxy NX Cameras
As seen above, Samsung Galaxy NX has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon M. 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.
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 M
or the
Samsung Galaxy NX ,
including hyperfocal distance.
