Samsung NX5 vs Sony H200

Let's look closer at the Samsung NX5 and Sony H200, former is a Entry-Level Mirrorless while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Samsung and Sony. There exists a large gap among the resolutions of the NX5 (15MP) and H200 (20MP) and the NX5 (APS-C) and H200 (1/2.3") provide different sensor sizing.

The NX5 was announced 3 years earlier than the H200 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Samsung NX5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief view of how the NX5 matches up against the H200 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

If you're aiming to carry around your camera regularly, you are going to need to think about its weight and dimensions. The Samsung NX5 has got outer dimensions of 123mm x 87mm x 40mm (4.8" x 3.4" x 1.6") with a weight of 499 grams (1.10 lbs) and the Sony H200 has dimensions of 123mm x 83mm x 87mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 3.4") having a weight of 530 grams (1.17 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are using at that time. The following is a front view measurement comparison of the NX5 and the H200.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the NX5 and H200 is 80 and 67 respectively.

Sometimes, its difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes just by viewing specifications. The picture here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the NX5 and H200.

To sum up, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The NX5 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony H200 will render greater detail with its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged NX5 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
