Olympus E-M10 III vs Samsung NX2000

In this article, we are reviewing the Olympus E-M10 III and Samsung NX2000, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by rivals Olympus and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the E-M10 III (16MP) and the NX2000 (20MP) is fairly close but the E-M10 III (Four Thirds) and NX2000 (APS-C) come with totally different sensor measurements.

The E-M10 III was unveiled 3 years after the NX2000 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Olympus E-M10 III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting through a comprehensive comparison, below is a short introduction of how the E-M10 III matches up versus the NX2000 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have at the time. Following is the front view measurements comparison of the E-M10 III vs the NX2000.

Looking at size and weight, the portability rating of the E-M10 III and NX2000 is 80 and 89 respectively.

Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes purely by looking through technical specs. The picture here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the E-M10 III and NX2000.

As you can tell, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The E-M10 III with its smaller sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Samsung NX2000 will render greater detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The fresher E-M10 III will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
