Samsung vs. Sony Camera

            The Samsung NX1 Mirrorless Digital Camera and the Sony Alpha A7II Mirrorless Digital Camera are both phenomenal cameras that will get the job done. Both cameras have a market sale price of $1700, and they both feature auto and manual focus, 1/8” headphone, 1/8” microphone HDMI D, and USB connectivity, and are both reasonably light weight. Even though these cameras are similar, I would buy the Samsung over the Sony because of it’s ability to record video, and its touchscreen feature.

            Some differences are shown in the sensors. The Samsung has a 28.2MP BSI APS-C CMOS sensor, whereas the Sony has a 24.3MP Full-Frame Exmor CMOS sensor. One out standing feature that the Sony lacks is that the Samsung also can record videos with it’s 4k video recording at 30 fps and it’s UHD video recording at 30 fps. Another thing that is different between the two is that the Sony has a BIONZ X Image Processer, but the Samsung has a DRIMe V Image Signal Processer. Furthermore, the NX1 is touch screen. The Alpha A7II is not.

            One huge drawback is that the Sony does not come with a lens. If you do not already have a lens then you will have to pay anywhere from $200 to 2 grand! A huge advantage for the Sony is that it has a weather-resistant magnesium alloy body. Also, on the technological side of things, there is built in Wi-Fi Connectivity with NFC. Lastly, the Sony also has a multi interface terminal.

            As you can see, the Sony Alpha a7II Mirrorless Digital Camera and the Samsung NX1 Mirrorless Digital Camera have many similarities and differences. The Samsung can record video, and is touchscreen. The Sony is without a lens, and if you don’t already have one, you will have to pay loads of cash to be able to snap a picture. For these reasons, I would buy the Sony Alpha A&II MIrrorless Digital Camera.
