Samsung NX1100 vs Samsung PL210

Below, we are contrasting the Samsung NX1100 and Samsung PL210, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Ultracompact and both of them are built by Samsung. There exists a large gap among the sensor resolutions of the NX1100 (20MP) and PL210 (14MP) and the NX1100 (APS-C) and PL210 (1/2.3") use different sensor measurements.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are working with during that time. Below is the front view scale comparison of the NX1100 vs the PL210.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the NX1100 and PL210 is 90 and 99 respectively.

Typically, it is difficult to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by viewing specs. The graphic below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX1100 and PL210.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The NX1100 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Samsung NX1100 will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more recent NX1100 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
