Samsung NX1000 vs Sony H300

Let's look more closely at the Samsung NX1000 vs Sony H300, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals Samsung and Sony. The sensor resolution of the NX1000 (20MP) and the H300 (20MP) is fairly close but the NX1000 (APS-C) and H300 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor measurements.

The NX1000 was released 22 months prior to the H300 making the cameras a generation apart from one another. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Samsung NX1000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H300 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going in to a complete comparison, below is a brief highlight of how the NX1000 scores against the H300 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung NX1000 & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H300. The complete galleries are available at Samsung NX1000 Gallery & Sony H300 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to carry your camera regularly, you will have to factor its weight and size.

More often than not, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor sizing merely by researching technical specs. The photograph here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the NX1000 and H300.

As you have seen, the two cameras have got the exact same megapixel count but not the same sensor sizing. The NX1000 contains the larger sensor which should make getting shallower depth of field simpler. The older NX1000 will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
