Plainly, both of the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The NX mini using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving bokeh more challenging and the Sony ZV-E10 will deliver greater detail using its extra 3.5MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged NX mini is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
