Samsung Galaxy NX has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DRIMe IV processor. On the other hand, Sony A700 has a
12.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Samsung Galaxy NX's sensor provides 8MP more than Sony A700'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 Galaxy NX and A700 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung Galaxy NX and Sony A700 Cameras
Samsung Galaxy NX and Sony A700 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
Samsung Galaxy NX
or the
Sony A700 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
