Samsung NX10 vs Sony HX90V

In this article, we will be evaluating the Samsung NX10 versus Sony HX90V, former is a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Samsung and Sony. The sensor resolution of the NX10 (15MP) and the HX90V (18MP) is relatively comparable but the NX10 (APS-C) and HX90V (1/2.3") use totally different sensor sizes.

The NX10 was manufactured 6 years earlier than the HX90V which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Samsung NX10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony HX90V being a Compact camera.

Before delving through a complete comparison, below is a brief summary of how the NX10 matches up vs the HX90V when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the NX10 and HX90V is 80 and 91 respectively.

Normally, its difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes merely by going through technical specs. The pic below should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX10 and HX90V.

As you can tell, each of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The NX10 because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony HX90V will produce extra detail due to its extra 3MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs a little more aggressively. The more aged NX10 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
