Olympus 5010 vs Samsung NX2000

Lets look a bit more closely at the Olympus 5010 versus Samsung NX2000, former is a Ultracompact while the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Olympus and Samsung. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the 5010 (14MP) and NX2000 (20MP) and the 5010 (1/2.3") and NX2000 (APS-C) provide different sensor sizes.

The 5010 was revealed 4 years before the NX2000 which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus 5010 being a Ultracompact camera and the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving right into a in depth comparison, here is a quick overview of how the 5010 scores versus the NX2000 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Olympus Stylus 5010 & Samsung NX2000. The full galleries are available at Olympus 5010 Gallery & Samsung NX2000 Gallery.

When you are intending to travel with your camera regularly, you will need to take into account its weight and proportions. The Olympus 5010 provides outside dimensions of 95mm x 56mm x 20mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.8") having a weight of 126 grams (0.28 lbs) while the Samsung NX2000 has measurements of 119mm x 65mm x 36mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.4") with a weight of 228 grams (0.50 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you use at that time. The following is a front view overall size comparison of the 5010 against the NX2000.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 5010 and NX2000 is 96 and 89 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions just by going over specifications. The picture underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 5010 and NX2000.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5010 with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Samsung NX2000 will deliver greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 5010 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
