Samsung NX200 vs Sony H200

Lets look much closer at the Samsung NX200 vs Sony H200, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals Samsung and Sony. The image resolution of the NX200 (20MP) and the H200 (20MP) is relatively similar but the NX200 (APS-C) and H200 (1/2.3") boast totally different sensor sizing.

The NX200 was announced 10 months earlier than the H200 which means that they are both of a similar generation. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the NX200 scores versus the H200 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For anyone who is planning to lug around your camera regularly, you will want to think about its weight and size.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use at the time. Here is a front view physical size comparison of the NX200 vs the H200.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the NX200 and H200 is 90 and 67 respectively.

Often, it is very hard to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements merely by going over technical specs. The graphic underneath may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX200 and H200.

As you have seen, each of these cameras have the same MP albeit not the same sensor measurements. The NX200 comes with the bigger sensor which is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult. The older NX200 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
