Samsung NX10 vs Sony A7

Below is a extensive overview of the Samsung NX10 and Sony A7, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by brands Samsung and Sony. There exists a noticeable gap among the image resolutions of the NX10 (15MP) and A7 (24MP) and the NX10 (APS-C) and A7 (Full frame) come with different sensor size.

The NX10 was released 4 years earlier than the A7 and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight into a full comparison, below is a brief summation of how the NX10 matches up against the A7 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung NX10 & Sony Alpha A7. The complete galleries are viewable at Samsung NX10 Gallery & Sony A7 Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera, you will have to think about its weight and proportions. The Samsung NX10 comes with exterior dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 40mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 1.6") and a weight of 499 grams (1.10 lbs) whilst the Sony A7 has measurements of 127mm x 94mm x 48mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 1.9") and a weight of 474 grams (1.04 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Following is the front view overall size comparison of the NX10 against the A7.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the NX10 and A7 is 80 and 78 respectively.

Typically, it's difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by checking out technical specs. The visual below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX10 and A7.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The NX10 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A7 will produce more detail as a result of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older NX10 will be behind in sensor innovation.
