As well as being compared against other mirrorless, the Samsung NX10 is also often compared to entry-level DSLRs and pro digicams. The Samsung NX10's top rivals come from Samsung (such as the NX11 and the NX100) and Sony (such as the Alpha NEX-5 and the NEX-5N)

compared toMirrorless interchangeable-lens competitors

Generally, some of the advantages of the Samsung NX10 compared to other mirrorless interchangeable-lens competitors include: it has higher quality type of viewfinder (digital vs none), has an OLED screen (OLED vs LCD), lets you preview your photos on the screen and has a built-in flash.

However, on average it is slightly more noisy at high ISO (572 ISO vs 796 ISO), records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 30fps), has slightly narrower dynamic range (10.8 EV vs 12.2 EV), slightly lower maximum light sensitivity (3,200 ISO vs 12,800 ISO) and doesn't record movies in 24p.
