The FS25 was released 6 years earlier than the NX1 and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Panasonic FS25 being a Compact camera and the Samsung NX1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving in to a more detailed comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the FS25 matches up vs the NX1 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Often, its hard to visualize the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic below might offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the FS25 and NX1.

Clearly, the two cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The FS25 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Samsung NX1 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 16MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos much more aggressively. The older FS25 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
