The GH5S was brought out 5 years later than the NX20 and that is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a short introduction of how the GH5S scores against the NX20 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The GH5S because of its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Samsung NX20 will resolve greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The more modern GH5S is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
