Samsung NX5 has a
15.0MP APS-C (23.4 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DRIM Engine processor. On the other hand, Canon 450D has a
12.0MP APS-C (22.2 x 14.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the NX5 and 450D sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung NX5 and Canon 450D Cameras
As seen above, Samsung NX5 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon 450D. 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
Samsung NX5
or the
Canon 450D ,
including hyperfocal distance.
