Canon SX530 HS vs Samsung NX100

In this article, we will be comparing the Canon SX530 HS versus Samsung NX100, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Samsung. The resolution of the SX530 HS (16MP) and the NX100 (15MP) is relatively comparable but the SX530 HS (1/2.3") and NX100 (APS-C) enjoy totally different sensor dimensions.

The SX530 HS was released 4 years after the NX100 which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Canon SX530 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Samsung NX100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight into a complete comparison, below is a short overview of how the SX530 HS matches up against the NX100 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are using during that time. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the SX530 HS compared to the NX100.

Considering size and weight, the portability grade of the SX530 HS and NX100 is 69 and 88 respectively.

Usually, it is tough to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions just by seeing specifications. The pic here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the SX530 HS and NX100.

To sum up, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The SX530 HS featuring a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon SX530 HS will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots a little more aggressively. The fresher SX530 HS will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
