The E-M10 III was manufactured 5 years later than the NX200 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Olympus E-M10 III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going right into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the E-M10 III matches up vs the NX200 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, it is difficult to picture the difference in sensor sizing purely by checking out technical specs. The photograph here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the E-M10 III and NX200.

As you have seen, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-M10 III featuring a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX200 will show greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots more aggressively. The younger E-M10 III should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
