Samsung NX300 vs Sony W330

Below is a in depth comparison of the Samsung NX300 versus Sony W330, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the latter is a Ultracompact by brands Samsung and Sony. There exists a considerable gap between the sensor resolutions of the NX300 (20MP) and W330 (14MP) and the NX300 (APS-C) and W330 (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor sizes.

The NX300 was released 3 years later than the W330 and that is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have different body design with the Samsung NX300 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony W330 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before getting straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a short summary of how the NX300 matches up vs the W330 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Remember that, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you select at that time. Following is a front view sizing comparison of the NX300 and the W330.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the NX300 and W330 is 86 and 96 respectively.

Typically, it's hard to see the gap between sensor measurements purely by going over technical specs. The graphic below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX300 and W330.

As you have seen, each of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The NX300 because of its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Samsung NX300 will deliver more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots more aggressively. The more recent NX300 will have a benefit in sensor innovation.
