Differences

Samsung NX200 advantages over Canon EOS M10

Larger sensor
APS-C vs APS-C
More sensor area. Bigger is (generally) better.
More dynamic range

More dynamic range

Cameras with more dynamic range allow you to take photos with dramatic differences in highlight and shadow areas while retaining detail in both.

Think of a brilliant sunset on a rocky beach: Bright sunset in the background, with dark rocks in the foreground. High dynamic range means more of the extremes will be faithfully reproduced.

Review Excerpt

Sleek, more professional camera design; faster autofocus system and burst modes; solid performance at high ISOs despite the bump up in megapixels.
Significantly more expensive than previous model; slow buffer clearing with RAW images; with kit lens attached, camera becomes less portable.

User-friendly design; great touchscreen interface; good image quality
No viewfinder; limited physical controls; sub-par continuous shooting; lacking video features
