The NX1 was introduced 4 years later than the NX10 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before going through a full comparison, below is a brief summation of how the NX1 matches up against the NX10 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor measurements simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX1 and NX10.

Clearly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Samsung NX1 to deliver extra detail using its extra 13MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop pictures much more aggressively. The younger NX1 provides an edge with regard to sensor technology.
