Olympus E-M10 vs Samsung NX200

On this page, we will be contrasting the Olympus E-M10 vs Samsung NX200, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors Olympus and Samsung. The resolution of the E-M10 (16MP) and the NX200 (20MP) is pretty well matched but the E-M10 (Four Thirds) and NX200 (APS-C) provide different sensor sizes.

The E-M10 was manufactured 2 years later than the NX200 and that is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Olympus E-M10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise overview of how the E-M10 matches up vs the NX200 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Here is a front view over all size comparison of the E-M10 versus the NX200.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the E-M10 and NX200 is 82 and 90 respectively.

Often, its difficult to imagine the gap between sensor measurements merely by reading through technical specs. The photograph here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the E-M10 and NX200.

As you can tell, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The E-M10 featuring a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Samsung NX200 will resolve greater detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The more recent E-M10 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
