Panasonic GX850 vs Samsung NX210

On this page, we will be looking at the Panasonic GX850 versus Samsung NX210, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by competitors Panasonic and Samsung. The sensor resolution of the GX850 (16MP) and the NX210 (20MP) is relatively similar but the GX850 (Four Thirds) and NX210 (APS-C) boast different sensor sizes.

The GX850 was brought out 4 years later than the NX210 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go right into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the GX850 matches up against the NX210 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Panasonic GX850 has got outside measurements of 107mm x 65mm x 33mm (4.2" x 2.6" x 1.3") with a weight of 269 grams (0.59 lbs) whilst the Samsung NX210 has dimensions of 117mm x 63mm x 37mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.5") along with a weight of 222 grams (0.49 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you have at the time. Underneath is a front view proportions comparison of the GX850 and the NX210.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the GX850 and NX210 is 90 and 90 respectively.

More often than not, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor measurements only by going over a spec sheet. The visual here will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the GX850 and NX210.

Clearly, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The GX850 because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more challenging and the Samsung NX210 will deliver extra detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The newer GX850 should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
