Samsung NX200 vs Fujifilm GFX 50R: Physical Specs and Body Features Comparison

Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, we are going to illustrate the Samsung NX200 and Fujifilm GFX 50R side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Samsung NX200 has external dimensions of 117 x 63 x 36 mm (4.61 x 2.48 x 1.42″) and weighs 223 g (0.49 lb / 7.87 oz) (including batteries). Fujifilm GFX 50R has external dimensions of 161 x 97 x 66 mm (6.34 x 3.82 x 2.6″) and weighs 775 g (1.71 lb / 27.34 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Samsung NX200 and the Fujifilm GFX 50R. Samsung NX200 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 44mm narrower, 34mm shorter and 30mm thinner than Fujifilm GFX 50R.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Samsung NX200 is significantly lighter (552g ) than the Fujifilm GFX 50R which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since Samsung NX200 has an APS-C sized sensor and Fujifilm GFX 50R has a smaller Medium format sensor, Fujifilm GFX 50R's lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will generally be lighter and smaller than the Samsung NX200 lenses.

Weather Sealing

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the GFX 50R, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the NX200.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm GFX 50R's 3.20" LCD screen is slightly larger than Samsung NX200's 3" screen.

In addition to the size advantage, Fujifilm GFX 50R 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 NX200 has a fixed type screen which provides less flexibility in shooting positions compared to GFX 50R.


Samsung NX200 vs Fujifilm GFX 50R: Sensor Comparison

Samsung NX200 has a 20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Fujifilm GFX 50R has a 51.0MP Medium format (44 x 33 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features X Processor Pro processor.

Fujifilm GFX 50R's sensor provides 31MP more than Samsung NX200'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 NX200 and GFX 50R sensor size comparison.

Samsung NX200 vs Fujifilm GFX 50R Comparison of Available Lenses
Which camera has more lenses?

The number of available lenses is a big deciding factor when choosing your interchangeable lens camera. When we look at the available lenses for these two cameras, we see that the Samsung NX200 has an advantage over the Fujifilm GFX 50R. There are 34 lenses for the Samsung NX200's Samsung NX mount, but on the other hand, there are only 15 lenses for the Fujifilm GFX 50R's Fujifilm G lens mount.
