J1

By Nikon
X
Verge score: 5.8

Sony's NEX-C3 is one of their second generation mirrorless cameras — along with the NEX-5N and NEX-7 — and is an update to their previous model, the NEX-3. The NEX-C3 features a new 16.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, an angle-adjustable, 3-inch display, and 720p HD video capture.

Description

The J1 is the less expensive of the two cameras that represented the Nikon's entrance into the mirrorless interchangeable lens camera market. The new Nikon 1 series introduced a new sensor size and a new lens mount (dubbed CX and Nikkor 1, respectively). Most notably, the J1 can take advantage of all Nikon F mount lenses when used in conjunction with an optional adapter. The J1 also features 1080p video recording and a 1200 FPS slow motion mode. The camera also has the ability to take stills during video recording.

Samsung's NX20 is a mirrorless camera with built-in Wi-Fi and uses i-Function, NX mount lenses. The NX20 features a 20.3-megapixel, APS-C-sized CMOS sensor, a 3-inch AMOLED rear display, 1080p video recording, and optional GPS for geo-tagging photos.
