Panasonic FH10 vs Samsung NX1

Lets look a little more closely at the Panasonic FH10 vs Samsung NX1, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Pro Mirrorless by brands Panasonic and Samsung. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the FH10 (16MP) and NX1 (28MP) and the FH10 (1/2.3") and NX1 (APS-C) enjoy totally different sensor measurements.

The FH10 was brought out 20 months prior to the NX1 making the cameras a generation apart from one another. Both cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic FH10 being a Compact camera and the Samsung NX1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving through a detailed comparison, below is a simple overview of how the FH10 scores versus the NX1 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH10 and Samsung NX1. The entire galleries are viewable at Panasonic FH10 Gallery and Samsung NX1 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to carry your camera, you are going to need to consider its weight and dimensions.

Quite often, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing simply by reviewing technical specs. The graphic here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the FH10 and NX1.

As you have seen, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FH10 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung NX1 will deliver greater detail having its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older FH10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
