Panasonic G100 vs Samsung NX200

On this page, we are contrasting the Panasonic G100 and Samsung NX200, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by manufacturers Panasonic and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the G100 (20MP) and the NX200 (20MP) is very well matched but the G100 (Four Thirds) and NX200 (APS-C) posses different sensor dimensions.

The G100 was introduced 8 years after the NX200 which is quite a significant difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Panasonic G100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple overview of how the G100 matches up vs the NX200 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DC-G100 & Samsung NX200. The whole galleries are viewable at Panasonic G100 Gallery & Samsung NX200 Gallery.

When you are intending to carry around your camera regularly, you will want to consider its weight and measurements. The Panasonic G100 has got exterior measurements of 116mm x 83mm x 54mm (4.6" x 3.3" x 2.1") having a weight of 352 grams (0.78 lbs) and the Samsung NX200 has proportions of 117mm x 63mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.4") accompanied by a weight of 223 grams (0.49 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are employing during that time. Underneath is a front view over all size comparison of the G100 compared to the NX200.

Using size and weight, the portability grade of the G100 and NX200 is 81 and 90 respectively.

Generally, it is very hard to visualize the difference between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The picture underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the G100 and NX200.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide the same resolution but different sensor sizes. The G100 offers the tinier sensor which should make obtaining shallow depth of field more challenging. The more modern G100 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
