Olympus SH-1 vs Samsung NX200

Below is a detailed overview of the Olympus SH-1 versus Samsung NX200, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Olympus and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the SH-1 (16MP) and the NX200 (20MP) is fairly comparable but the SH-1 (1/2.3") and NX200 (APS-C) offer different sensor size.

The SH-1 was introduced 2 years later than the NX200 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus SH-1 being a Compact camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a in depth comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the SH-1 matches up against the NX200 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Olympus Stylus SH-1 and Samsung NX200. The whole galleries are viewable at Olympus SH-1 Gallery and Samsung NX200 Gallery.

When you are intending to lug around your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor its weight and proportions. The Olympus SH-1 has got outside measurements of 109mm x 63mm x 42mm (4.3" x 2.5" x 1.7") along with a weight of 271 grams (0.60 lbs) and the Samsung NX200 has measurements of 117mm x 63mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.4") and a weight of 223 grams (0.49 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are using at the time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the SH-1 compared to the NX200.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the SH-1 and NX200 is 88 and 90 respectively.

Often, it is very tough to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements merely by going through technical specs. The photograph here might provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the SH-1 and NX200.

As you have seen, both the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The SH-1 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more difficult and the Samsung NX200 will provide extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The younger SH-1 provides a benefit in sensor tech.
