Lets examine more closely at the Samsung NX1 and Samsung NX30, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless and both of them are offered by Samsung. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the NX1 (28MP) and NX30 (20MP) but they possess the same exact sensor measurements (APS-C).

The NX1 was manufactured 9 months later than the NX30 and they are both of a similar generation. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before diving through a in depth comparison, below is a brief overview of how the NX1 matches up versus the NX30 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Normally, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor measurements just by checking technical specs. The photograph underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX1 and NX30.

As you can tell, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should expect the Samsung NX1 to give you more detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more recent NX1 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
