Samsung NX10 vs Sony RX10

Lets look closer at the Samsung NX10 and Sony RX10, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Large Sensor Superzoom by rivals Samsung and Sony. There exists a sizeable gap between the sensor resolutions of the NX10 (15MP) and RX10 (20MP) and the NX10 (APS-C) and RX10 (1") use different sensor measurements.

The NX10 was introduced 5 years earlier than the RX10 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Samsung NX10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going through a in depth comparison, below is a concise view of how the NX10 grades vs the RX10 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung NX10 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10. The whole galleries are provided at Samsung NX10 Gallery and Sony RX10 Gallery.

If you're planning to carry your camera often, you have to factor its weight and proportions.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are working with at that time. Here is the front view size comparison of the NX10 compared to the RX10.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the NX10 and RX10 is 80 and 58 respectively.

Typically, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing just by checking specifications. The photograph below will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the NX10 and RX10.

Plainly, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The NX10 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Sony RX10 will give you extra detail using its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older NX10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
