Canon SX60 HS vs Samsung NX200

Let's look more closely at the Canon SX60 HS and Samsung NX200, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Samsung. The image resolution of the SX60 HS (16MP) and the NX200 (20MP) is pretty comparable but the SX60 HS (1/2.3") and NX200 (APS-C) have different sensor size.

The SX60 HS was brought out 2 years later than the NX200 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX60 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going into a detailed comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the SX60 HS grades versus the NX200 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon PowerShot SX60 HS and Samsung NX200. The entire galleries are provided at Canon SX60 HS Gallery and Samsung NX200 Gallery.

In case you're intending to carry your camera, you will want to consider its weight and proportions. The Canon SX60 HS provides outer measurements of 128mm x 93mm x 114mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 4.5") along with a weight of 650 grams (1.43 lbs) whilst the Samsung NX200 has measurements of 117mm x 63mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.4") accompanied by a weight of 223 grams (0.49 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are using during that time. The following is a front view measurement comparison of the SX60 HS and the NX200.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX60 HS and NX200 is 61 and 90 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor sizing merely by seeing specs. The visual below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the SX60 HS and NX200.

All in all, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The SX60 HS featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF harder and the Samsung NX200 will provide greater detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more recent SX60 HS provides an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
