Samsung NX10 vs Sony A7 IV

On this page, we will be comparing the Samsung NX10 and Sony A7 IV, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by competitors Samsung and Sony. There exists a large gap between the resolutions of the NX10 (15MP) and A7 IV (33MP) and the NX10 (APS-C) and A7 IV (Full frame) provide different sensor sizing.

The NX10 was launched 12 years before the A7 IV and that is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a complete comparison, here is a brief summary of how the NX10 grades against the A7 IV when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

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

If you are aiming to lug around your camera often, you have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Typically, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements simply by checking a spec sheet. The photograph here may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the NX10 and A7 IV.

Clearly, both of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX10 due to its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony A7 IV will resolve extra detail utilizing its extra 18MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older NX10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
