The NX2000 was announced 4 years prior to the A9 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony A9 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before going into a thorough comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the NX2000 grades vs the A9 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Samsung NX2000 and Sony Alpha A9. The whole galleries are viewable at Samsung NX2000 Gallery and Sony A9 Gallery.

In case you're going to lug around your camera often, you'll have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

In many cases, it is very tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements merely by checking out technical specs. The graphic here might offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX2000 and A9.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX2000 with its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh more difficult and the Sony A9 will show greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots way more aggressively. The older NX2000 will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
