Canon M vs Samsung NX5

Lets look a little more closely at the Canon M versus Samsung NX5, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by rivals Canon and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the M (18MP) and the NX5 (15MP) is fairly well matched and both cameras have the identical sensor size (APS-C).

The M was brought out 2 years later than the NX5 and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Canon M being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a brief view of how the M matches up versus the NX5 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M & Samsung NX5. The entire galleries are available at Canon M Gallery & Samsung NX5 Gallery.

In case you're planning to carry your camera often, you're going to have to take into account its weight and proportions.

Normally, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing simply by checking specifications. The graphic below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the M and NX5.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same MP. You can anticipate the Canon M to give greater detail having its extra 3MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer M is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
