The XC10 was released 8 years after the GX-10 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Canon XC10 being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Samsung GX-10 being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before we go in to a in depth comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the XC10 grades against the GX-10 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon XC10 and Samsung GX-10. The complete galleries are available at Canon XC10 Gallery and Samsung GX-10 Gallery.

When you are looking to travel with your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and measurements. The Canon XC10 provides physical measurements of 125mm x 102mm x 122mm (4.9" x 4.0" x 4.8") with a weight of 1040 grams (2.29 lbs) while the Samsung GX-10 has proportions of 142mm x 101mm x 70mm (5.6" x 4.0" x 2.8") and a weight of 793 grams (1.75 lbs).

Typically, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions just by going through a spec sheet. The pic below might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the XC10 and GX-10.

As you can see, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The XC10 due to its smaller sensor is going to make shooting bokeh trickier and the Canon XC10 will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The younger XC10 should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
