The G7 was unveiled 3 years after the NX20 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a thorough comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the G7 grades against the NX20 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Panasonic Lumix DMC-G7 and Samsung NX20. The full galleries are available at Panasonic G7 Gallery and Samsung NX20 Gallery.

If you're aiming to travel with your camera frequently, you're going to have to think about its weight and proportions.

Often, it is difficult to imagine the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by viewing technical specs. The pic underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the G7 and NX20.

As you can tell, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The G7 with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX20 will render extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent G7 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
