Canon SX1 IS vs Samsung NX200

Below, we are comparing the Canon SX1 IS and Samsung NX200, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Samsung. There is a noticeable difference among the resolutions of the SX1 IS (10MP) and NX200 (20MP) and the SX1 IS (1/2.3") and NX200 (APS-C) use different sensor size.

The SX1 IS was introduced 3 years prior to the NX200 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX1 IS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting through a full comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the SX1 IS matches up against the NX200 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Often, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor measurements purely by viewing specs. The visual here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the SX1 IS and NX200.

All in all, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SX1 IS having a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX200 will render extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older SX1 IS will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
