Samsung NX100 vs Samsung ST150F

Lets look a little more in depth at the Samsung NX100 versus Samsung ST150F, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Compact and they are both designed by Samsung. The sensor resolution of the NX100 (15MP) and the ST150F (16MP) is very close but the NX100 (APS-C) and ST150F (1/2.3") have totally different sensor size.

The NX100 was unveiled 3 years prior to the ST150F which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung NX100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung ST150F being a Compact camera.

Before we go into a in depth comparison, here is a short overview of how the NX100 matches up against the ST150F when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung NX100 and Samsung ST150F. The full galleries are provided at Samsung NX100 Gallery and Samsung ST150F Gallery.

When you are intending to travel with your camera often, you will need to think about its weight and measurements.

Often, it can be difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions simply by looking through a spec sheet. The image underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the NX100 and ST150F.

As you can see, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The NX100 having a larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung ST150F will result in greater detail having an extra 1 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The more aged NX100 will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
