Samsung NX210 vs Sony H400

Below is a extensive comparison of the Samsung NX210 versus Sony H400, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals Samsung and Sony. The sensor resolution of the NX210 (20MP) and the H400 (20MP) is very well matched but the NX210 (APS-C) and H400 (1/2.3") offer different sensor dimensions.

The NX210 was brought out 18 months earlier than the H400 making them a generation apart from one another. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Samsung NX210 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H400 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go into a in-depth comparison, here is a short view of how the NX210 scores against the H400 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung NX210 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400. The entire galleries are provided at Samsung NX210 Gallery and Sony H400 Gallery.

When you are looking to lug around your camera, you'll need to factor its weight and dimensions. The Samsung NX210 has outside dimensions of 117mm x 63mm x 37mm (4.6" x 2.5" x 1.5") having a weight of 222 grams (0.49 lbs) whilst the Sony H400 has dimensions of 130mm x 95mm x 122mm (5.1" x 3.7" x 4.8") having a weight of 628 grams (1.38 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have chosen at the time. Following is a front view dimensions comparison of the NX210 against the H400.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the NX210 and H400 is 90 and 62 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to imagine the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through technical specs. The photograph here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX210 and H400.

As you have seen, both cameras feature the identical megapixels but different sensor measurements. The NX210 contains the larger sensor which should make achieving shallow DOF less difficult. The older NX210 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
