Here is a comprehensive overview of the Panasonic GF7 and Samsung NX300M, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by manufacturers Panasonic and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the GF7 (16MP) and the NX300M (20MP) is relatively close but the GF7 (Four Thirds) and NX300M (APS-C) possess different sensor sizes.

The GF7 was launched 2 years later than the NX300M and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving in to a full comparison, below is a simple overview of how the GF7 matches up against the NX300M when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the GF7 and NX300M is 90 and 86 respectively.

Oftentimes, it can be hard to picture the difference in sensor sizing only by researching technical specs. The visual here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the GF7 and NX300M.

As you can tell, both cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The GF7 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field harder and the Samsung NX300M will render greater detail utilizing its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs much more aggressively. The newer GF7 provides an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
