Panasonic G100 vs Samsung NX2000

Lets look a bit more closely at the Panasonic G100 versus Samsung NX2000, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by rivals Panasonic and Samsung. The resolution of the G100 (20MP) and the NX2000 (20MP) is relatively well matched but the G100 (Four Thirds) and NX2000 (APS-C) posses totally different sensor sizing.

The G100 was revealed 6 years later than the NX2000 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic G100 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the G100 grades versus the NX2000 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For those who are aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to factor its weight and measurements. The Panasonic G100 features external measurements of 116mm x 83mm x 54mm (4.6" x 3.3" x 2.1") with a weight of 352 grams (0.78 lbs) and the Samsung NX2000 has proportions of 119mm x 65mm x 36mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.4") accompanied by a weight of 228 grams (0.50 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are employing at that moment. The following is a front view physical size comparison of the G100 versus the NX2000.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the G100 and NX2000 is 81 and 89 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by reading through specs. The visual underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the G100 and NX2000.

All in all, both the cameras come with the identical megapixel count albeit not the same sensor measurements. The G100 has got the tinier sensor which will make achieving shallower depth of field tougher. The more modern G100 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
