Samsung WB750 vs Sony NEX-3N

Here is a complete review of the Samsung WB750 versus Sony NEX-3N, former being a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Samsung and Sony. The sensor resolution of the WB750 (13MP) and the NEX-3N (16MP) is fairly similar but the WB750 (1/2.3") and NEX-3N (APS-C) use different sensor sizes.

The WB750 was unveiled 18 months prior to the NEX-3N making the cameras a generation apart from one another. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Samsung WB750 being a Compact camera and the Sony NEX-3N being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go through a more detailed comparison, below is a short highlight of how the WB750 grades vs the NEX-3N when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung WB750 & Sony Alpha NEX-3N. The full galleries are viewable at Samsung WB750 Gallery & Sony NEX-3N Gallery.

If you're aiming to carry your camera, you will have to factor in its weight and proportions. The Samsung WB750 features outer measurements of 105mm x 59mm x 25mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.0") having a weight of 193 grams (0.43 lbs) and the Sony NEX-3N has measurements of 110mm x 62mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.4" x 1.4") with a weight of 269 grams (0.59 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. The following is the front view sizing comparison of the WB750 and the NEX-3N.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the WB750 and NEX-3N is 93 and 89 respectively.

Sometimes, it is hard to picture the difference between sensor sizing purely by going over a spec sheet. The photograph here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the WB750 and NEX-3N.

Clearly, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The WB750 using its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF harder and the Sony NEX-3N will offer more detail having an extra 3MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a little more aggressively. The older WB750 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
