Samsung NX210 vs Samsung ST80

Let's look more closely at the Samsung NX210 versus Samsung ST80, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Ultracompact and they are both created by Samsung. There exists a sizeable gap between the resolutions of the NX210 (20MP) and ST80 (14MP) and the NX210 (APS-C) and ST80 (1/2.3") boast totally different sensor measurements.

The NX210 was revealed 2 years later than the ST80 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Samsung NX210 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung ST80 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go right into a complete comparison, here is a short highlight of how the NX210 matches up versus the ST80 in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung NX210 and Samsung ST80. The full galleries are provided at Samsung NX210 Gallery and Samsung ST80 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to lug around your camera regularly, you need to think about its weight and proportions. The Samsung NX210 enjoys outer measurements of 117mm x 63mm x 37mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.5") and a weight of 222 grams (0.49 lbs) and the Samsung ST80 has measurements of 92mm x 55mm x 19mm (3.6" x 2.2" x 0.7") and a weight of 118 grams (0.26 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you use at that time. Underneath is a front view measurements comparison of the NX210 and the ST80.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the NX210 and ST80 is 90 and 96 respectively.

More often than not, its tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing technical specs. The photograph here might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX210 and ST80.

As you have seen, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The NX210 having a larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung NX210 will offer you greater detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos way more aggressively. The younger NX210 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
