Samsung NX3000 vs Sony H50

Let's examine more closely at the Samsung NX3000 versus Sony H50, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals Samsung and Sony. There is a huge difference between the image resolutions of the NX3000 (20MP) and H50 (9MP) and the NX3000 (APS-C) and H50 (1/2.3") possess different sensor measurements.

As you have seen, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The NX3000 with its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Samsung NX3000 will deliver greater detail with its extra 11MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The younger NX3000 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
