Samsung NX3000 vs Samsung TL350

Lets look a little more in depth at the Samsung NX3000 and Samsung TL350, former being a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Small Sensor Compact and they are both built by Samsung. There exists a large gap among the image resolutions of the NX3000 (20MP) and TL350 (10MP) and the NX3000 (APS-C) and TL350 (1/2.3") have different sensor sizing.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are using at that moment. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the NX3000 against the TL350.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the NX3000 and TL350 is 89 and 94 respectively.

Normally, it is hard to visualize the gap in sensor measurements purely by seeing technical specs. The graphic below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the NX3000 and TL350.

As you can tell, both of those cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The NX3000 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Samsung NX3000 will show more detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more modern NX3000 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
