Samsung NX2000 vs Zeiss ZX1

The following is a extended analysis of the Samsung NX2000 versus Zeiss ZX1, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Samsung and Zeiss. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the NX2000 (20MP) and ZX1 (37MP) and the NX2000 (APS-C) and ZX1 (Full frame) use totally different sensor sizes.

The NX2000 was manufactured 5 years earlier than the ZX1 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Samsung NX2000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Zeiss ZX1 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before diving through a complete comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the NX2000 matches up vs the ZX1 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung NX2000 and Zeiss ZX1. The entire galleries are available at Samsung NX2000 Gallery and Zeiss ZX1 Gallery.

In case you're going to travel with your camera often, you will have to factor its weight and size. The Samsung NX2000 provides external measurements of 119mm x 65mm x 36mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 1.4") and a weight of 228 grams (0.50 lbs) while the Zeiss ZX1 has specifications of 142mm x 93mm x 46mm (5.6" x 3.7" x 1.8") and a weight of 800 grams (1.76 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you choose at that time. Below is the front view size comparison of the NX2000 and the ZX1.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the NX2000 and ZX1 is 89 and 67 respectively.

Quite often, its hard to see the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX2000 and ZX1.

Clearly, both of those cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NX2000 due to its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Zeiss ZX1 will deliver more detail due to its extra 17 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged NX2000 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
