Samsung NX10 vs Sony QX10

In this article, we will be reviewing the Samsung NX10 versus Sony QX10, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Lens-style by brands Samsung and Sony. The resolution of the NX10 (15MP) and the QX10 (18MP) is pretty close but the NX10 (APS-C) and QX10 (1/2.3") enjoy totally different sensor dimensions.

The NX10 was revealed 4 years prior to the QX10 which is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Samsung NX10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony QX10 being a Lens-style camera.

Before diving in to a thorough comparison, below is a short summation of how the NX10 grades versus the QX10 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

When you are planning to travel with your camera often, you will have to factor its weight and measurements. The Samsung NX10 enjoys outer dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 40mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 1.6") along with a weight of 499 grams (1.10 lbs) whilst the Sony QX10 has proportions of 62mm x 62mm x 33mm (2.4" x 2.4" x 1.3") along with a weight of 105 grams (0.23 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at that time. Underneath is the front view proportions comparison of the NX10 compared to the QX10.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the NX10 and QX10 is 80 and 96 respectively.

Normally, it is very hard to see the gap in sensor dimensions purely by looking through specifications. The pic here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX10 and QX10.

Plainly, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The NX10 using its bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Sony QX10 will render greater detail because of its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged NX10 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
