Samsung NX10 vs Sony HX9V

Lets look more closely at the Samsung NX10 versus Sony HX9V, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Samsung and Sony. The image resolution of the NX10 (15MP) and the HX9V (16MP) is very well matched but the NX10 (APS-C) and HX9V (1/2.3") boast totally different sensor dimensions.

The NX10 was released 15 months prior to the HX9V making them a generation apart from each other. The two cameras have different body design with the Samsung NX10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony HX9V being a Compact camera.

Before delving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a quick view of how the NX10 grades versus the HX9V when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung NX10 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V. The complete galleries are viewable at Samsung NX10 Gallery and Sony HX9V Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to lug around your camera frequently, you should factor its weight and volume. The Samsung NX10 has got exterior measurements of 123mm x 87mm x 40mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 1.6") and a weight of 499 grams (1.10 lbs) and the Sony HX9V has sizing of 105mm x 59mm x 34mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.3") along with a weight of 245 grams (0.54 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the NX10 against the HX9V.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability score of the NX10 and HX9V is 80 and 91 respectively.

Often, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements simply by looking at a spec sheet. The photograph here might provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX10 and HX9V.

As you can see, each of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The NX10 because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF easier and the Sony HX9V will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics more aggressively. The older NX10 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
