Samsung NX1000 vs Sony HX350

Let's look more closely at the Samsung NX1000 vs Sony HX350, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Samsung and Sony. The image resolution of the NX1000 (20MP) and the HX350 (20MP) is fairly similar but the NX1000 (APS-C) and HX350 (1/2.3") boast different sensor measurements.

The NX1000 was released 5 years earlier than the HX350 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung NX1000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony HX350 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving straight to a complete comparison, here is a simple overview of how the NX1000 matches up versus the HX350 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung NX1000 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350. The complete galleries are provided at Samsung NX1000 Gallery and Sony HX350 Gallery.

If you are planning to carry around your camera often, you'll need to consider its weight and dimensions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have attached at that time. Below is a front view dimensions comparison of the NX1000 against the HX350.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the NX1000 and HX350 is 90 and 62 respectively.

Quite often, it can be difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizes only by going over specs. The image here will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX1000 and HX350.

All in all, the two cameras feature the identical megapixel count but different sensor sizes. The NX1000 features the larger sensor which will make getting shallower depth of field less difficult. The more aged NX1000 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
