Samsung CL5 vs Samsung NX1000

Let's look closer at the Samsung CL5 versus Samsung NX1000, one is a Ultracompact and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both of them are built by Samsung. There exists a big gap between the resolutions of the CL5 (9MP) and NX1000 (20MP) and the CL5 (1/2.5") and NX1000 (APS-C) provide totally different sensor sizes.

The CL5 was released 4 years before the NX1000 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Samsung CL5 being a Ultracompact camera and the Samsung NX1000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a brief view of how the CL5 scores against the NX1000 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung CL5 and Samsung NX1000. The complete galleries are provided at Samsung CL5 Gallery and Samsung NX1000 Gallery.

Typically, it can be difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes just by reading specifications. The picture underneath may give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the CL5 and NX1000.

To sum up, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The CL5 because of its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung NX1000 will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 11 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged CL5 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
