Casio EX-H20G vs Samsung NX300M

Here is a detailed analysis of the Casio EX-H20G versus Samsung NX300M, former being a Small Sensor Compact while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Casio and Samsung. There exists a considerable gap among the sensor resolutions of the EX-H20G (14MP) and NX300M (20MP) and the EX-H20G (1/2.3") and NX300M (APS-C) come with different sensor dimensions.

The EX-H20G was released 3 years earlier than the NX300M and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Casio EX-H20G being a Compact camera and the Samsung NX300M being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving in to a in-depth comparison, below is a quick view of how the EX-H20G scores versus the NX300M with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Quite often, it is hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizing purely by looking through specs. The visual here will help provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-H20G and NX300M.

As you can plainly see, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The EX-H20G due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF harder and the Samsung NX300M will render greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older EX-H20G will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
