Samsung NX11 vs Samsung WB50F

Here, we will be evaluating the Samsung NX11 versus Samsung WB50F, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are manufactured by Samsung. The sensor resolution of the NX11 (15MP) and the WB50F (16MP) is relatively similar but the NX11 (APS-C) and WB50F (1/2.3") offer different sensor sizing.

The NX11 was launched 4 years earlier than the WB50F and that is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung NX11 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung WB50F being a Compact camera.

Before we go into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise highlight of how the NX11 matches up against the WB50F with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung NX11 & Samsung WB50F. The complete galleries are available at Samsung NX11 Gallery & Samsung WB50F Gallery.

If you are aiming to lug around your camera, you will have to take into account its weight and size. The Samsung NX11 has got outside dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 40mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 1.6") and a weight of 499 grams (1.10 lbs) while the Samsung WB50F has specifications of 101mm x 68mm x 27mm (4.0" x 2.7" x 1.1") with a weight of 207 grams (0.46 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you choose during that time. Here is a front view dimensions comparison of the NX11 compared to the WB50F.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the NX11 and WB50F is 80 and 92 respectively.

More often than not, it can be hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below should give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX11 and WB50F.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The NX11 because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Samsung WB50F will deliver greater detail utilizing its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older NX11 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
