The NX10 was introduced 4 years before the TF1 and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Samsung NX10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony TF1 being a Compact camera.

Before going in to a in-depth comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the NX10 matches up vs the TF1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Samsung NX10 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TF1. The whole galleries are provided at Samsung NX10 Gallery and Sony TF1 Gallery.

Usually, its difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements merely by looking at technical specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX10 and TF1.

As you can tell, each of these cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The NX10 having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Sony TF1 will give greater detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The older NX10 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
