The NX2000 was introduced 3 years before the A6300 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving straight into a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick summary of how the NX2000 grades versus the A6300 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung NX2000 and Sony Alpha a6300. The whole galleries are provided at Samsung NX2000 Gallery and Sony A6300 Gallery.

More often than not, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor measurements only by going over technical specs. The visual here should give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX2000 and A6300.

As you can tell, each of these cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should expect to see the Sony A6300 to offer extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The older NX2000 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
