The NX10 was introduced 3 years earlier than the WX80 which is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Samsung NX10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony WX80 being a Compact camera.

Before delving right into a full comparison, here is a short overview of how the NX10 scores versus the WX80 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Generally, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions just by going over specifications. The picture below will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX10 and WX80.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NX10 using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony WX80 will offer greater detail using its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NX10 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
