Panasonic FS15 vs Samsung NX200

Below is a in depth analysis of the Panasonic FS15 versus Samsung NX200, one being a Ultracompact and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by brands Panasonic and Samsung. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the FS15 (12MP) and NX200 (20MP) and the FS15 (1/2.3") and NX200 (APS-C) boast totally different sensor sizing.

The FS15 was announced 4 years prior to the NX200 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Panasonic FS15 being a Ultracompact camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight to a complete comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the FS15 matches up against the NX200 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 and Samsung NX200. The whole galleries are provided at Panasonic FS15 Gallery and Samsung NX200 Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to take into account its weight and volume. The Panasonic FS15 features exterior dimensions of 97mm x 54mm x 22mm (3.8" x 2.1" x 0.9") accompanied by a weight of 136 grams (0.30 lbs) while the Samsung NX200 has sizing of 117mm x 63mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.4") along with a weight of 223 grams (0.49 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising during that time. Underneath is a front view sizing comparison of the FS15 compared to the NX200.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the FS15 and NX200 is 95 and 90 respectively.

More often than not, its difficult to see the gap in sensor measurements merely by viewing technical specs. The photograph here will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the FS15 and NX200.

As you have seen, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The FS15 having a smaller sensor will make getting shallower DOF more difficult and the Samsung NX200 will provide you with greater detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older FS15 will be behind in sensor innovation.
