Fujifilm S9900w vs Samsung NX2000 Comparison Overview

Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Fujifilm S9900w, which was introduced in January 2015 is a Small Sensor Superzoom camera with a 16.0MP sensor whereas Samsung NX2000, which was introduced in November 2013 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 20.0MP APS-C sensor. There is 13 months difference between S9900w and NX2000 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger S9900w, especially in sensor tech.

Comparing an interchangeble lens camera to a fixed lens camera is a bit tricky but we will do our best to make this a fair comparison.

Fujifilm S9900w vs Samsung NX2000: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Fujifilm S9900w and Samsung NX2000 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm S9900w has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 116 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.57″) and weighs 670 g (1.48 lb / 23.63 oz) (including batteries). Samsung NX2000 has external dimensions of 119 x 65 x 36 mm (4.69 x 2.56 x 1.42″) and weighs 228 g (0.50 lb / 8.04 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Fujifilm S9900w and Samsung NX2000. Samsung NX2000 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 4mm narrower, 22mm shorter and 80mm thinner than Fujifilm S9900w. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm S9900w has a built-in lens but Samsung NX2000 doesn't. Once you put a lens on NX2000, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Samsung NX2000 is significantly lighter (442g ) than the Fujifilm S9900w which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on NX2000, the total kit will weigh much higher.

Weather Sealing

Unfortunately neither Fujifilm S9900w nor Samsung NX2000 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors. If weather sealing is a must-have feature for you, check these sections:
