The G6 was revealed 7 months earlier than the NX2000 so they are of a similar generation. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Panasonic G6 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving in to a full comparison, below is a quick view of how the G6 grades vs the NX2000 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6 and Samsung NX2000. The full galleries are available at Panasonic G6 Gallery and Samsung NX2000 Gallery.

If you're looking to carry around your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and dimensions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have chosen at that time. Below is the front view physical size comparison of the G6 vs the NX2000.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the G6 and NX2000 is 74 and 89 respectively.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes merely by checking technical specs. The pic here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the G6 and NX2000.

As you can tell, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The G6 having a tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Samsung NX2000 will resolve more detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged G6 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
