Canon SX620 HS vs Samsung NX mini

Lets look much closer at the Canon SX620 HS versus Samsung NX mini, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Samsung. The resolution of the SX620 HS (20MP) and the NX mini (20.5MP) is pretty close but the SX620 HS (1/2.3") and NX mini (1") boast totally different sensor size.

The SX620 HS was announced 2 years later than the NX mini and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon SX620 HS being a Compact camera and the Samsung NX mini being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going right into a thorough comparison, here is a short summation of how the SX620 HS grades against the NX mini when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Oftentimes, its hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by researching specifications. The graphic below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the SX620 HS and NX mini.

Plainly, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SX620 HS having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Samsung NX mini will render greater detail with its extra 0.5 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger SX620 HS will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
