The GX-10 was revealed 10 years before the RX10 III and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung GX-10 being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Sony RX10 III being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving right into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief overview of how the GX-10 scores versus the RX10 III with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Normally, it is hard to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by looking at technical specs. The visual underneath will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the GX-10 and RX10 III.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The GX-10 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony RX10 III will resolve more detail because of its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The older GX-10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
