Samsung NX10 vs Sony HX1

The following is a extensive review of the Samsung NX10 versus Sony HX1, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Samsung and Sony. There is a crucial difference among the sensor resolutions of the NX10 (15MP) and HX1 (9MP) and the NX10 (APS-C) and HX1 (1/2.4") come with different sensor measurements.

The NX10 was manufactured 12 months after the HX1 and they are of a similar generation. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Samsung NX10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony HX1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go in to a complete comparison, below is a short view of how the NX10 scores versus the HX1 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung NX10 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1. The entire galleries are provided at Samsung NX10 Gallery and Sony HX1 Gallery.

In case you're intending to travel with your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor in its weight and measurements. The Samsung NX10 provides outside dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 40mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 1.6") having a weight of 499 grams (1.10 lbs) while the Sony HX1 has proportions of 115mm x 83mm x 92mm (4.5" x 3.3" x 3.6") and a weight of 544 grams (1.20 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have attached at that moment. Here is the front view overall size comparison of the NX10 vs the HX1.

Using size and weight, the portability rating of the NX10 and HX1 is 80 and 67 respectively.

Usually, its difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions simply by looking through a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX10 and HX1.

Clearly, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NX10 due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX10 will result in greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The newer NX10 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
