Panasonic FS15 vs Samsung NX2000

Lets look a little more closely at the Panasonic FS15 versus Samsung NX2000, one being a Ultracompact and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Panasonic and Samsung. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the FS15 (12MP) and NX2000 (20MP) and the FS15 (1/2.3") and NX2000 (APS-C) use different sensor dimensions.

The FS15 was launched 5 years earlier than the NX2000 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic FS15 being a Ultracompact camera and the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick view of how the FS15 matches up against the NX2000 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Quite often, it can be hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizing purely by looking at technical specs. The photograph below will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the FS15 and NX2000.

As you can tell, both of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The FS15 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung NX2000 will resolve extra detail utilizing its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos much more aggressively. The older FS15 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
