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.

The NX3000 was announced 5 years after the H50 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Samsung NX3000 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H50 being a Compact camera.

Before getting through a in depth comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the NX3000 grades versus the H50 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung NX3000 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50. The whole galleries are viewable at Samsung NX3000 Gallery and Sony H50 Gallery.

For those who are going to carry around your camera frequently, you need to take into account its weight and measurements.

Generally, it is hard to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading technical specs. The pic here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the NX3000 and H50.

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.
