Panasonic S1H vs Samsung NX10

Below, we are evaluating the Panasonic S1H and Samsung NX10, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Panasonic and Samsung. There is a big difference between the image resolutions of the S1H (24MP) and NX10 (15MP) and the S1H (Full frame) and NX10 (APS-C) enjoy different sensor dimensions.

The S1H was revealed 9 years after the NX10 which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go through a thorough comparison, below is a brief view of how the S1H scores against the NX10 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Panasonic Lumix DC-S1H and Samsung NX10. The full galleries are provided at Panasonic S1H Gallery and Samsung NX10 Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to travel with your camera often, you will have to factor its weight and dimensions. The Panasonic S1H enjoys physical dimensions of 151mm x 114mm x 110mm (5.9" x 4.5" x 4.3") accompanied by a weight of 1052 grams (2.32 lbs) whilst the Samsung NX10 has dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 40mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 1.6") accompanied by a weight of 499 grams (1.10 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are working with at the time. Underneath is the front view proportions comparison of the S1H and the NX10.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability grade of the S1H and NX10 is 52 and 80 respectively.

Often, it can be hard to picture the gap between sensor dimensions just by checking technical specs. The pic here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the S1H and NX10.

As you have seen, each of these cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The S1H using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic S1H will give you more detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger S1H provides an edge in sensor tech.
