Ricoh G900 vs Samsung NX200

Let's take a closer look at the Ricoh G900 versus Samsung NX200, one is a Waterproof and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Ricoh and Samsung. The image resolution of the G900 (20MP) and the NX200 (20MP) is relatively close but the G900 (1/2.3") and NX200 (APS-C) come with totally different sensor size.

The G900 was introduced 6 years after the NX200 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Ricoh G900 being a Compact camera and the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving in to a thorough comparison, below is a simple summation of how the G900 scores against the NX200 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have attached during that time. Here is the front view physical size comparison of the G900 versus the NX200.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the G900 and NX200 is 89 and 90 respectively.

Generally, it is very hard to envision the contrast in sensor dimensions just by viewing specifications. The pic underneath should give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the G900 and NX200.

To sum up, each of these cameras posses the exact same MP albeit not the same sensor dimensions. The G900 comes with the smaller sensor which is going to make getting shallower DOF harder. The more modern G900 will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
