Samsung NX1 vs Sony W570

Let's look a bit more closely at the Samsung NX1 versus Sony W570, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Ultracompact by companies Samsung and Sony. There is a significant difference between the image resolutions of the NX1 (28MP) and W570 (16MP) and the NX1 (APS-C) and W570 (1/2.3") use different sensor sizes.

The NX1 was manufactured 3 years after the W570 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Samsung NX1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony W570 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before delving through a thorough comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the NX1 grades versus the W570 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Often, it is very difficult to picture the difference between sensor dimensions simply by reading through a spec sheet. The picture here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the NX1 and W570.

Clearly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The NX1 featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Samsung NX1 will resolve extra detail due to its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The fresher NX1 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
