The S1 was introduced 5 years later than the NX2000 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic S1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving through a step-by-step comparison, below is a short view of how the S1 matches up versus the NX2000 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Generally, it is very difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizing simply by researching specs. The photograph here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S1 and NX2000.

As you can plainly see, both of those cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The S1 having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Panasonic S1 will render more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures far more aggressively. The fresher S1 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
