Weather Sealing

With its weather sealed body, we believe that GFX 100 has a big advantage over NX1000 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm GFX 100's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung NX1000's 3 screen.

In addition to the size advantage, Fujifilm GFX 100 LCD screen also has a Tilting feature where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over the head levels. On the other hand, Samsung NX1000 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to GFX 100.
Fujifilm GFX 100 vs Samsung NX1000: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm GFX 100 has a 102.0MP Medium format (44 x 33 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features X-Processor 4 processor. On the other hand, Samsung NX1000 has a 20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .

Fujifilm GFX 100's sensor provides 82MP more than Samsung NX1000's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely. On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.

Below you can see the GFX 100 and NX1000 sensor size comparison.

Fujifilm GFX 100 vs Samsung NX1000 Comparison of Available Lenses
Which camera has more lenses?

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that Samsung NX1000 has an advantage over Fujifilm GFX 100 There are 34 lenses for Samsung NX1000's Samsung NX mount, on the other hand there are only 14 lenses for Fujifilm GFX 100's Fujifilm G lens mount.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization.
