Samsung NX200 vs Sony RX10

Let's look a little more in depth at the Samsung NX200 versus Sony RX10, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Large Sensor Superzoom by brands Samsung and Sony. The sensor resolution of the NX200 (20MP) and the RX10 (20MP) is very close but the NX200 (APS-C) and RX10 (1") posses different sensor measurements.

The NX200 was introduced 3 years prior to the RX10 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Samsung NX200 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go right into a full comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the NX200 grades versus the RX10 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung NX200 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10. The whole galleries are viewable at Samsung NX200 Gallery and Sony RX10 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to carry your camera, you're going to have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Usually, it's tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing purely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX200 and RX10.

Clearly, both of the cameras have the same MP but different sensor sizing. The NX200 contains the larger sensor which will make getting bokeh easier. The older NX200 will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
