The NX3000 was released 5 years prior to the A6400 which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before going in to a thorough comparison, below is a quick view of how the NX3000 scores versus the A6400 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung NX3000 and Sony Alpha a6400. The complete galleries are viewable at Samsung NX3000 Gallery and Sony A6400 Gallery.

When you are going to carry around your camera, you will have to factor in its weight and measurements.

Normally, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizes just by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath may give you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the NX3000 and A6400.

As you can see, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Sony A6400 to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged NX3000 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
