Samsung NX200 vs Sony QX10

On this page, we will be contrasting the Samsung NX200 and Sony QX10, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Lens-style by competitors Samsung and Sony. The resolution of the NX200 (20MP) and the QX10 (18MP) is pretty well matched but the NX200 (APS-C) and QX10 (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor measurements.

The NX200 was revealed 18 months before the QX10 which makes them a generation away from each other. Both cameras have different body design with the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony QX10 being a Lens-style camera.

Before diving right into a full comparison, here is a concise summary of how the NX200 matches up against the QX10 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Samsung NX200 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10. The full galleries are viewable at Samsung NX200 Gallery and Sony QX10 Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to travel with your camera, you have to think about its weight and measurements. The Samsung NX200 features outside measurements of 117mm x 63mm x 36mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.4") with a weight of 223 grams (0.49 lbs) and the Sony QX10 has proportions of 62mm x 62mm x 33mm (2.4" x 2.4" x 1.3") with a weight of 105 grams (0.23 lbs).

Take a look at the Samsung NX200 and Sony QX10 in the all new Camera and Lens Size Comparison Tool.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Following is a front view measurements comparison of the NX200 vs the QX10.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the NX200 and QX10 is 90 and 96 respectively.

Usually, it is hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions purely by checking a spec sheet. The picture below will give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX200 and QX10.

Clearly, both of these cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The NX200 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung NX200 will give you extra detail because of its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged NX200 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
