Canon M100 vs Samsung NX1000

Lets examine more closely at the Canon M100 and Samsung NX1000, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by rivals Canon and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the M100 (24MP) and the NX1000 (20MP) is relatively well matched and they feature the exact same sensor size (APS-C).

The M100 was launched 5 years later than the NX1000 and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go in to a thorough comparison, below is a short view of how the M100 grades vs the NX1000 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M100 & Samsung NX1000. The complete galleries are provided at Canon M100 Gallery & Samsung NX1000 Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to carry your camera frequently, you'll need to consider its weight and proportions. The Canon M100 provides outer measurements of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") along with a weight of 302 grams (0.67 lbs) while the Samsung NX1000 has measurements of 114mm x 63mm x 37mm (4.5" x 2.5" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 222 grams (0.49 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you have attached at the time. Here is the front view proportions comparison of the M100 against the NX1000.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M100 and NX1000 is 88 and 90 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at specifications. The photograph below will help give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the M100 and NX1000.

Plainly, both the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You can count on the Canon M100 to resolve greater detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The more recent M100 should have an edge in sensor technology.
