CONCLUSIONS
The Samsung NX10 wins out if you add up the advantages category by category. But that's not the whole story. The NEX-5 has more to offer in terms of style and slick features like Sweep Panorama mode. As we've often mentioned here, the vast majority of currently available compact interchangeable lens cameras and DSLRs take great pictures. There's no real bad apple in the bunch. Your personal preferences and needs are going to dictate which camera should be the winner for you.

It wouldn't be a Head to Head if we didn't pick a winner though, and the frontrunner is the Samsung NX10. It doesn't have the curb appeal of the little NEX cameras, but it's easier to use, packs built-in accessories where Sony offers them as attachments, and it takes good quality pictures.

All we need now is a pocketable interchangeable lens camera with an APS sensor, plenty of dedicated control buttons, squeaky clean images at ISO 6400... well, we can keep dreaming.
