The NX10 was released 3 years prior to the NEX-3N which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Samsung NX10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony NEX-3N being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight into a detailed comparison, below is a concise summary of how the NX10 scores against the NEX-3N in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung NX10 and Sony Alpha NEX-3N. The complete galleries are available at Samsung NX10 Gallery and Sony NEX-3N Gallery.

Quite often, it is tough to see the difference between sensor sizes just by reading a spec sheet. The pic underneath should provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the NX10 and NEX-3N.

Clearly, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony NEX-3N to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images much more aggressively. The more aged NX10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
