20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DRIMe IV processor.
Below you can see the a5100 and NX300M sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony a5100 and Samsung NX300M Cameras
Sony a5100 and Samsung NX300M 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
Sony a5100
or the
Samsung NX300M ,
including hyperfocal distance.
