Kodak S-1 vs Samsung NX210

Its time to look more closely at the Kodak S-1 versus Samsung NX210, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by companies Kodak and Samsung. The image resolution of the S-1 (16MP) and the NX210 (20MP) is pretty close but the S-1 (Four Thirds) and NX210 (APS-C) posses totally different sensor measurements.

The S-1 was revealed 23 months later than the NX210 which makes them a generation apart from one another. Both the cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before getting right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick summation of how the S-1 scores versus the NX210 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Kodak Pixpro S-1 and Samsung NX210. The full galleries are provided at Kodak S-1 Gallery and Samsung NX210 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to carry your camera often, you will want to factor in its weight and measurements. The Kodak S-1 features outer dimensions of 116mm x 68mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.7" x 1.4") having a weight of 290 grams (0.64 lbs) while the Samsung NX210 has proportions of 117mm x 63mm x 37mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.5") accompanied by a weight of 222 grams (0.49 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are working with at the time. Following is a front view dimensions comparison of the S-1 and the NX210.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the S-1 and NX210 is 88 and 90 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor sizing purely by looking through technical specs. The photograph below should provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the S-1 and NX210.

As you have seen, each of these cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S-1 having a smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Samsung NX210 will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent S-1 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
