The SX1 IS was revealed 6 years prior to the NX3000 which is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Canon SX1 IS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Samsung NX3000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving through a in depth comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the SX1 IS matches up against the NX3000 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX1 IS & Samsung NX3000. The full galleries are available at Canon SX1 IS Gallery & Samsung NX3000 Gallery.

In case you're going to travel with your camera, you are going to need to consider its weight and proportions.

More often than not, it's difficult to see the contrast in sensor dimensions merely by checking out technical specs. The image here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX1 IS and NX3000.

As you can tell, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX1 IS with its smaller sensor will make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX3000 will show extra detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop images much more aggressively. The more aged SX1 IS will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
