Fujifilm S9200 vs Samsung NX5

Let's look closer at the Fujifilm S9200 versus Samsung NX5, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors FujiFilm and Samsung. The resolution of the Fujifilm S9200 (16MP) and the NX5 (15MP) is relatively close but the Fujifilm S9200 (1/2.3") and NX5 (APS-C) use different sensor size.

The Fujifilm S9200 was manufactured 3 years later than the NX5 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Fujifilm S9200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Samsung NX5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a quick summation of how the Fujifilm S9200 grades vs the NX5 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

In many cases, it is tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing a spec sheet. The graphic below may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Fujifilm S9200 and NX5.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Fujifilm S9200 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field tougher and the Fujifilm S9200 will render more detail due to its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The fresher Fujifilm S9200 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
