The Z5 was released 6 years later than the NX3000 and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Nikon Z5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX3000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going in to a more detailed comparison, below is a short summation of how the Z5 scores versus the NX3000 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Nikon Z5 and Samsung NX3000. The complete galleries are available at Nikon Z5 Gallery and Samsung NX3000 Gallery.

Generally, it can be tough to visualise the difference between sensor measurements merely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the Z5 and NX3000.

As you can see, each of the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The Z5 featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Nikon Z5 will deliver extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern Z5 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
