Canon SX710 HS vs Samsung NX1000

Let's look a bit more in depth at the Canon SX710 HS vs Samsung NX1000, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Samsung. The resolution of the SX710 HS (20MP) and the NX1000 (20MP) is pretty comparable but the SX710 HS (1/2.3") and NX1000 (APS-C) offer totally different sensor sizing.

The SX710 HS was manufactured 2 years after the NX1000 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Canon SX710 HS being a Compact camera and the Samsung NX1000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting into a in depth comparison, here is a brief summation of how the SX710 HS matches up versus the NX1000 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have at that moment. Here is a front view size comparison of the SX710 HS against the NX1000.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SX710 HS and NX1000 is 89 and 90 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor dimensions only by going through specs. The image here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the SX710 HS and NX1000.

As you can plainly see, both of the cameras provide the same megapixels albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The SX710 HS includes the smaller sensor which is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging. The fresher SX710 HS is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
