Canon SX200 IS vs Samsung NX30

The following is a in depth assessment of the Canon SX200 IS vs Samsung NX30, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Samsung. There is a huge difference among the sensor resolutions of the SX200 IS (12MP) and NX30 (20MP) and the SX200 IS (1/2.3") and NX30 (APS-C) have totally different sensor size.

Oftentimes, its difficult to see the contrast in sensor dimensions only by seeing specifications. The pic underneath may provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX200 IS and NX30.

Plainly, both of these cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The SX200 IS with its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX30 will provide greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged SX200 IS will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
