Panasonic S1R vs Samsung NX210

Let's look more closely at the Panasonic S1R vs Samsung NX210, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Panasonic and Samsung. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the S1R (47MP) and NX210 (20MP) and the S1R (Full frame) and NX210 (APS-C) come with different sensor sizes.

The S1R was announced 6 years later than the NX210 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic S1R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX210 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving through a thorough comparison, below is a simple view of how the S1R matches up vs the NX210 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DC-S1R and Samsung NX210. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic S1R Gallery and Samsung NX210 Gallery.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor in its weight and measurements. The Panasonic S1R provides external measurements of 149mm x 110mm x 97mm (5.9" x 4.3" x 3.8") with a weight of 1020 grams (2.25 lbs) and the Samsung NX210 has proportions of 117mm x 63mm x 37mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.5") and a weight of 222 grams (0.49 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are using at that moment. Underneath is the front view size comparison of the S1R compared to the NX210.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the S1R and NX210 is 54 and 90 respectively.

Normally, its tough to picture the contrast in sensor measurements only by viewing specifications. The graphic below might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the S1R and NX210.

To sum up, both of those cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S1R with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Panasonic S1R will provide you with greater detail with its extra 27MP. Greater resolution will let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more modern S1R should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
