Pentax K-01 vs Samsung NX10

Let's look a little more in depth at the Pentax K-01 versus Samsung NX10, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras by brands Pentax and Samsung. The image resolution of the K-01 (16MP) and the NX10 (15MP) is very close and both cameras posses the identical sensor sizing (APS-C).

The K-01 was brought out 2 years later than the NX10 and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving into a more detailed comparison, here is a short highlight of how the K-01 grades versus the NX10 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Pentax K-01 & Samsung NX10. The entire galleries are available at Pentax K-01 Gallery & Samsung NX10 Gallery.

When you are going to lug around your camera regularly, you'll have to factor its weight and proportions.

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are using during that time. Here is a front view size comparison of the K-01 versus the NX10.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the K-01 and NX10 is 76 and 80 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements merely by researching specifications. The photograph below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the K-01 and NX10.

To sum up, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Pentax K-01 to render greater detail having its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent K-01 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
