      Screen and Viewfinder

      Screen

      Samsung NX mini and OM System OM-5 have 3.0" screens with 461k dot and 1,040k dot resolutions respectively. Samsung NX mini has a Tilting screen which makes it very useful for photography purposes but not so useful for video shooting. OM System OM-5 has a Fully Articulated screen which makes it selfie and vlogger friendly and generally very useful for video shooting. Both models feature 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.

      Electronic (OLED) Viewfinder on OM System OM-5

      OM System OM-5 has a built-in Electronic (OLED) viewfinder with 2,360k dot resolution. It has a 100% coverage and 1.37x (0.68x 35mm equivalent) magnification. There is no built-in or optional viewfinder available on Samsung NX mini.

      Sensor

      Samsung NX mini features a 20.5 megapixel 1-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 13.2 x 8.8 mm and a total area of 116.2 mm2. Its native ISO range is 160 - 12,800 and expands to 100 - 25,600 in boosted mode. OM System OM-5 features a 20.4 megapixel Micro Four Thirds CMOS sensor with dimensions of 17.4 x 13 mm and a total area of 169 mm2. Its native ISO range is 200 - 25,600 and expands to 64 - 25,600 in boosted mode.

      Samsung NX mini 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

      Samsung NX mini can take pictures up to 5472 x 3648 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 5472 x 3080, 3648 x 3648, 3888 x 2592, 3712 x 2088, 2640 x 2640, 2976 x 1984, 2944 x 1656, 2000 x 2000, 1728 x 1152, 1920 x 1080, 1024 x 1024 with 1:1, 3:2, 16:9 aspect ratios. OM System OM-5 is equipped with TruePic IX processor and can take pictures up to 5184 x 3888 resolution.


      Lens Mount

      Samsung NX mini has Samsung NX-M lens mount and OM System OM-5 has Micro Four Thirds lens mount. Due to 1-inch sensor in Samsung NX mini its crop factor is equal to 2.7x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 2.7. Due to Micro Four Thirds sensor in OM System OM-5 its crop factor is equal to 2x, this means that a 35mm equivalent focal length of the mounted lens will be equal to its actual focal length times 2.


      In-Body Image Stabilization on OM System OM-5

      OM System OM-5 has a built-in 5-Axis Sensor Shift in-body image stabilization (IBIS) with 7.5 stops of compensation. This means that you are still getting vibration reduction when camera is paired with non-image stabilizied lenses. It also works with lenses with optical image stabilization and in combination can achieve even better compensation.

      Connectivity, Battery and Storage

      Built-in Wi-Fi

      Cameras have built-in Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n, 2.4 GHz) which allows to easily transfer photos and videos from the camera to other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, printers, or computers. This eliminates the need for cables and allows for quick and convenient media sharing and social media integration. It gives you the ability to control your camera remotely using a smartphone or tablet. This is particularly useful for taking self-portraits, group shots, or capturing images in challenging conditions without having to touch the camera. Firmware updates can also be downloaded and installed wirelessly.
        Check out the cameras in our database that have built-in WiFi.


      Bluetooth on OM System OM-5

      OM System OM-5 has a built-in Bluetooth which lets you to connect the camera to a smartphone or a dedicated remote control device. This allows you to remotely trigger the camera, adjust settings and controls remotely through a paired mobile app. While Wi-Fi is generally faster for transferring larger files, Bluetooth can be used for small, selective transfers, it can provide real-time information about your camera's battery status, memory card capacity, and other key settings directly on your paired smartphone or smartwatch.
