The S-1 was unveiled 3 years after the NX11 which is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Kodak S-1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX11 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight into a in depth comparison, below is a simple highlight of how the S-1 scores vs the NX11 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Samsung NX11. The full galleries are viewable at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Samsung NX11 Gallery.

For anybody who is intending to travel with your camera often, you will want to take into account its weight and volume.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are working with at that moment. The following is the front view dimensions comparison of the S-1 and the NX11.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the S-1 and NX11 is 88 and 80 respectively.

Often, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor dimensions merely by viewing specs. The picture underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the S-1 and NX11.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S-1 with its smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Kodak S-1 will result in more detail having an extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more modern S-1 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
