Following is a extensive assessment of the Samsung NX100 and Samsung NX3000, both Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras and they are both produced by Samsung. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the NX100 (15MP) and NX3000 (20MP) but they feature the same exact sensor measurements (APS-C).

The NX100 was released 4 years earlier than the NX3000 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go through a step-by-step comparison, below is a short summation of how the NX100 matches up vs the NX3000 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung NX100 and Samsung NX3000. The complete galleries are viewable at Samsung NX100 Gallery and Samsung NX3000 Gallery.

For anyone who is intending to carry around your camera, you are going to need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Samsung NX100 has got physical dimensions of 120mm x 71mm x 35mm (4.7" x 2.8" x 1.4") accompanied by a weight of 282 grams (0.62 lbs) whilst the Samsung NX3000 has proportions of 117mm x 66mm x 39mm (4.6" x 2.6" x 1.5") and a weight of 230 grams (0.51 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Underneath is the front view measurement comparison of the NX100 vs the NX3000.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the NX100 and NX3000 is 88 and 89 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be hard to picture the gap in sensor sizes only by viewing specifications. The pic below might provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX100 and NX3000.

Plainly, each of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You should count on the Samsung NX3000 to provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 5MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more aged NX100 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
