Panasonic S1H vs Samsung NX1

Below is a complete review of the Panasonic S1H vs Samsung NX1, both Pro Mirrorless cameras by competitors Panasonic and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the S1H (24MP) and the NX1 (28MP) is relatively close but the S1H (Full frame) and NX1 (APS-C) provide different sensor sizing.

The S1H was announced 5 years later than the NX1 and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going right into a detailed comparison, here is a concise summation of how the S1H scores against the NX1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H & Samsung NX1. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic S1H Gallery & Samsung NX1 Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera frequently, you are going to need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Panasonic S1H features outer measurements of 151mm x 114mm x 110mm (5.9" x 4.5" x 4.3") having a weight of 1052 grams (2.32 lbs) whilst the Samsung NX1 has proportions of 139mm x 102mm x 66mm (5.5" x 4.0" x 2.6") along with a weight of 550 grams (1.21 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. The following is a front view size comparison of the S1H against the NX1.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the S1H and NX1 is 52 and 66 respectively.

Quite often, it is difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements merely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the S1H and NX1.

As you can see, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The S1H with its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh simpler and the Samsung NX1 will result in greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern S1H should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
