Canon SX60 HS vs Samsung NX11

Let's look a little more in depth at the Canon SX60 HS versus Samsung NX11, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by companies Canon and Samsung. The image resolution of the SX60 HS (16MP) and the NX11 (15MP) is fairly close but the SX60 HS (1/2.3") and NX11 (APS-C) have different sensor size.

The SX60 HS was manufactured 3 years later than the NX11 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Canon SX60 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Samsung NX11 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go right into a full comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the SX60 HS matches up vs the NX11 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon PowerShot SX60 HS and Samsung NX11. The entire galleries are available at Canon SX60 HS Gallery and Samsung NX11 Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to carry your camera regularly, you'll have to consider its weight and dimensions. The Canon SX60 HS provides outer dimensions of 128mm x 93mm x 114mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 4.5") with a weight of 650 grams (1.43 lbs) and the Samsung NX11 has dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 40mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 1.6") with a weight of 499 grams (1.10 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at the time. Here is a front view over all size comparison of the SX60 HS vs the NX11.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability score of the SX60 HS and NX11 is 61 and 80 respectively.

Often, it is very hard to visualize the difference in sensor sizing merely by viewing specs. The photograph below will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the SX60 HS and NX11.

As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The SX60 HS due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Canon SX60 HS will result in greater detail due to its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images a bit more aggressively. The newer SX60 HS should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
