Samsung CL80 vs Samsung NX2000

Here, we are reviewing the Samsung CL80 vs Samsung NX2000, one being a Ultracompact and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and both are designed by Samsung. There exists a significant gap between the image resolutions of the CL80 (14MP) and NX2000 (20MP) and the CL80 (1/2.3") and NX2000 (APS-C) have different sensor measurements.

The CL80 was brought out 4 years before the NX2000 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung CL80 being a Ultracompact camera and the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the CL80 matches up vs the NX2000 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung CL80 and Samsung NX2000. The entire galleries are provided at Samsung CL80 Gallery and Samsung NX2000 Gallery.

If you are looking to carry your camera, you will need to consider its weight and measurements.

More often than not, its difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizing merely by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the CL80 and NX2000.

As you can see, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The CL80 because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Samsung NX2000 will resolve extra detail having its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics way more aggressively. The older CL80 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
