Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Samsung NX3000, which was introduced in May 2014 is a Entry-Level Mirrorless camera with a 20.0MP APS-C sensor whereas Sony A99, which was introduced in December 2012 is a Advanced DSLR camera with a 24.0MP Full frame sensor. There is 17 months difference between NX3000 and A99 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger NX3000, 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 Samsung NX3000 and Sony A99 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Samsung NX3000 and Sony A99 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
