Samsung NX30 vs Samsung WB250F

Below, we will be analyzing the Samsung NX30 versus Samsung WB250F, former is a Advanced Mirrorless while the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are produced by Samsung. There exists a noticeable gap among the image resolutions of the NX30 (20MP) and WB250F (14MP) and the NX30 (APS-C) and WB250F (1/2.3") feature different sensor sizes.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you select during that time. The following is the front view overall size comparison of the NX30 and the WB250F.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the NX30 and WB250F is 75 and 93 respectively.

More often than not, it's difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by going through specifications. The image underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX30 and WB250F.

To sum up, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NX30 using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX30 will produce greater detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger NX30 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
