Fujifilm S1500 vs Samsung NX20

Lets look more closely at the Fujifilm S1500 and Samsung NX20, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by competitors FujiFilm and Samsung. There is a huge difference between the resolutions of the Fujifilm S1500 (10MP) and NX20 (20MP) and the Fujifilm S1500 (1/2.3") and NX20 (APS-C) provide different sensor sizes.

The Fujifilm S1500 was announced 4 years earlier than the NX20 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Fujifilm S1500 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Samsung NX20 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting right into a complete comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the Fujifilm S1500 matches up vs the NX20 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are using at that time. The following is a front view over all size comparison of the Fujifilm S1500 versus the NX20.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability rating of the Fujifilm S1500 and NX20 is 82 and 83 respectively.

Generally, it is difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizing simply by looking at specifications. The photograph below may give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Fujifilm S1500 and NX20.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm S1500 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX20 will resolve greater detail with its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older Fujifilm S1500 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
