The E-P7 was unveiled 10 years later than the NX11 and that is quite a serious difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Olympus E-P7 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX11 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a short summary of how the E-P7 matches up against the NX11 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Olympus PEN E-P7 & Samsung NX11. The full galleries are available at Olympus E-P7 Gallery & Samsung NX11 Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera frequently, you have to consider its weight and size.

Often, its tough to picture the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through specs. The graphic underneath should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the E-P7 and NX11.

As you can plainly see, both of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The E-P7 having a tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Olympus E-P7 will resolve greater detail having an extra 5MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The newer E-P7 should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
