Samsung CL5 vs Samsung NX2000

Below is a extensive review of the Samsung CL5 versus Samsung NX2000, one being a Ultracompact and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both are produced by Samsung. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the CL5 (9MP) and NX2000 (20MP) and the CL5 (1/2.5") and NX2000 (APS-C) provide different sensor sizing.

The CL5 was manufactured 5 years before the NX2000 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung CL5 being a Ultracompact camera and the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight to a comprehensive comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the CL5 matches up against the NX2000 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Samsung CL5 and Samsung NX2000. The entire galleries are viewable at Samsung CL5 Gallery and Samsung NX2000 Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera often, you're going to have to consider its weight and dimensions.

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Following is a front view measurement comparison of the CL5 vs the NX2000.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the CL5 and NX2000 is 95 and 89 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The photograph underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the CL5 and NX2000.

To sum up, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The CL5 because of its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF trickier and the Samsung NX2000 will show more detail due to its extra 11MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The older CL5 will be behind in sensor technology.
