Samsung NX300 vs Sony T90

Let's look more in depth at the Samsung NX300 vs Sony T90, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Ultracompact by brands Samsung and Sony. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the NX300 (20MP) and T90 (12MP) and the NX300 (APS-C) and T90 (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor sizes.

The NX300 was manufactured 4 years later than the T90 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Samsung NX300 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony T90 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before diving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the NX300 matches up versus the T90 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Quite often, it can be tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by researching technical specs. The graphic underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the NX300 and T90.

As you have seen, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX300 because of its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Samsung NX300 will render greater detail due to its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics more aggressively. The more recent NX300 is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
