Samsung PL200 has a
14.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Sony TX20 has a
16.0MP 1/2.3-inch (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features BIONZ processor.
Below you can see the PL200 and TX20 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Samsung PL200 and Sony TX20 Cameras
Samsung PL200 and Sony TX20 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Samsung PL200 has 14% larger pixel area compared to Sony TX20, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
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 PL200
or the
Sony TX20 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
