Samsung NX2000 has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Leica M Typ 240 has a
24.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the NX2000 and M Typ 240 sensor size comparison.
As seen above, Leica M Typ 240 has a 2.3x Larger sensor area than Samsung NX2000. 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. Samsung NX2000 and Leica M Typ 240 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that M Typ 240 has a better overall score of 84, 9 points higher compared to NX2000's score of 75.
