Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Nikon D5, which was introduced in January 2016 is a Pro DSLR camera with a 21.0MP Full frame sensor whereas Samsung NX mini, which was introduced in March 2014 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 20.5MP 1' sensor. There is 22 months difference between D5 and NX mini so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger D5, especially in sensor tech.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Nikon D5 and Samsung NX mini before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Nikon D5 and Samsung NX mini compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
