The NX300M was unveiled 8 years prior to the A7c and that is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before diving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick summary of how the NX300M grades versus the A7c in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung NX300M and Sony Alpha A7c. The full galleries are viewable at Samsung NX300M Gallery and Sony A7c Gallery.

When you are intending to carry your camera, you will need to factor its weight and volume.

Oftentimes, it can be tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizing merely by reading through technical specs. The photograph underneath will offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the NX300M and A7c.

As you can tell, each of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The NX300M using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A7c will resolve greater detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older NX300M is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
