Samsung NX210 vs Sony RX10 IV

Let's look more closely at the Samsung NX210 vs Sony RX10 IV, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Large Sensor Superzoom by competitors Samsung and Sony. The image resolution of the NX210 (20MP) and the RX10 IV (20MP) is fairly close but the NX210 (APS-C) and RX10 IV (1") use totally different sensor dimensions.

The NX210 was released 6 years before the RX10 IV and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Samsung NX210 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony RX10 IV being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting through a complete comparison, below is a quick synopsis of how the NX210 matches up vs the RX10 IV when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For anyone who is intending to lug around your camera frequently, you will need to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Below is the front view measurement comparison of the NX210 versus the RX10 IV.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the NX210 and RX10 IV is 90 and 52 respectively.

Normally, it can be tough to envision the contrast in sensor measurements only by researching a spec sheet. The visual underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX210 and RX10 IV.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer the same exact megapixel count but not the same sensor measurements. The NX210 uses the larger sensor which is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier. The older NX210 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
