The DV300F was unveiled 7 years before the ZX1 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung DV300F being a Compact camera and the Zeiss ZX1 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before diving into a in depth comparison, here is a simple overview of how the DV300F scores versus the ZX1 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung DV300F and Zeiss ZX1. The full galleries are provided at Samsung DV300F Gallery and Zeiss ZX1 Gallery.

If you're going to carry your camera, you need to consider its weight and volume.

Quite often, it is tough to imagine the gap between sensor sizing purely by reviewing specifications. The graphic underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the DV300F and ZX1.

Plainly, both cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The DV300F with its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Zeiss ZX1 will offer extra detail having an extra 21 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older DV300F is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
