Samsung NX2000 vs Sony RX10 III

Its time to look much closer at the Samsung NX2000 and Sony RX10 III, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Large Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Samsung and Sony. The sensor resolution of the NX2000 (20MP) and the RX10 III (20MP) is pretty comparable but the NX2000 (APS-C) and RX10 III (1") possess totally different sensor sizes.

The NX2000 was unveiled 3 years prior to the RX10 III and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 III being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting through a detailed comparison, below is a short summation of how the NX2000 matches up against the RX10 III in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Quite often, it's tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by going through specifications. The photograph here might give you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX2000 and RX10 III.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have got the exact same megapixels albeit not the same sensor sizing. The NX2000 includes the bigger sensor which will make achieving bokeh less difficult. The older NX2000 will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
