Samsung NX3000 vs Samsung SL30

Let's look a little more closely at the Samsung NX3000 vs Samsung SL30, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Compact and both of them are sold by Samsung. There exists a crucial gap between the image resolutions of the NX3000 (20MP) and SL30 (10MP) and the NX3000 (APS-C) and SL30 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor sizes.

The NX3000 was introduced 5 years after the SL30 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Samsung NX3000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Samsung SL30 being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the NX3000 matches up vs the SL30 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung NX3000 and Samsung SL30. The whole galleries are provided at Samsung NX3000 Gallery and Samsung SL30 Gallery.

When you are looking to carry around your camera frequently, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Typically, it is hard to see the contrast between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The pic below will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the NX3000 and SL30.

As you can see, both of these cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The NX3000 using its larger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Samsung NX3000 will resolve greater detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The younger NX3000 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
