The NX300 was introduced 7 years prior to the A7c which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving through a thorough comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the NX300 matches up versus the A7c in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Following is the front view scale comparison of the NX300 versus the A7c.

Usually, it's tough to picture the difference between sensor dimensions just by reading specifications. The image here may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the NX300 and A7c.

To sum up, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The NX300 with its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A7c will deliver more detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more aged NX300 is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
