NX20 for low ISO, RX100 II for high ISO

Hi!

My current camera setup is as follows:

  • NX20 with lenses: Samsung 30mm f2, Samsung 85mm f2, Samsung 18-55mm, Samsung 50-200mm, Nikon 50mm f1.8, Nikon 60mm f2.8
  • RX100 II

Despite the big difference is sensor size the RX100 II seems to do a little better in low light.

For example I shot a wine glass with both cams in a restaurant with dim lights. The Samsung, with 30mm f2 @ f2 chose ISO 1600 and the RX100 II @ f3.2 chose ISO 2000 (both in A mode with auto ISO). The scene was exactly the same and shot both at the same focal lenght (45mm in 35-film terms).

When looking at these images the RX wins by a small bit despite beeing @ ISO 2000 vs the NX @ 1600. And the NX also looked underexposed.

So, since I did this test I started wondering... Is there any one else here who owns both a NX 20mpx camera and a RX100xx that can confirm my findings?
