Let's look closer at the Nikon A10 versus Samsung PL120, both Ultracompact digital cameras by companies Nikon and Samsung. The image resolution of the A10 (16MP) and the PL120 (14MP) is relatively similar and both cameras offer the identical sensor size (1/2.3").

The A10 was introduced 5 years later than the PL120 and that is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before we go into a in depth comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the A10 grades against the PL120 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

In case you're planning to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to think about its weight and size.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the A10 against the PL120.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the A10 and PL120 is 94 and 99 respectively.

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to envision the difference between sensor measurements only by reviewing specifications. The graphic here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the A10 and PL120.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Nikon A10 to offer you greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The younger A10 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
