      Screen and Viewfinder

      Screen

      Canon EOS R10 and Samsung EX2F have 3.0" Fully Articulated screens with 1,040k dot and 640k dot resolutions respectively. Fully articulated screen makes cameras selfie and vlogger friendly and generally very useful for video shooting. Canon EOS R10 also features touchscreen which has advantages such as easy menu navigation, intuitive controls, quick setting adjustment and most importantly a Touch-to-Focus functionality allowing users to select a specific point on the screen where they want the camera to focus. This feature can be helpful for achieving precise focus in both photo and video recording.

      Viewfinder

      Canon EOS R10 has a built-in Electronic (OLED) viewfinder with 2,360k dot resolution. It has a 100% coverage and 0.95x (0.60x 35mm equivalent) magnification.Samsung EX2F does not have a built-in viewfinder but an optional electronic viewfinder can be attached.

      Sensor

      Canon EOS R10 features a 24.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor with dimensions of 22.3 x 14.9 mm and a total area of 332.3 mm2. Its native ISO range is 100 - 32,000 and expands to 100 - 51,200 in boosted mode. Samsung EX2F features a 12.4 megapixel 1/1.7-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 7.44 x 5.58 mm and a total area of 31.1 mm2. Its native ISO range is 80 - 3,200 and expands to 80 - 12,800 in boosted mode.

      Samsung EX2F has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

      Photography Features

      Canon EOS R10 is equipped with DIGIC X processor and can take pictures up to 6000 x 4000 resolution. Samsung EX2F can take pictures up to 4000 x 3000 resolution.
