Canon N vs Sony H55

Below, we will be looking at the Canon N vs Sony H55, both Small Sensor Compact cameras by brands Canon and Sony. The sensor resolution of the N (12MP) and the H55 (14MP) is relatively close and they feature the exact same sensor size (1/2.3").

The N was introduced 2 years later than the H55 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before getting through a complete comparison, below is a quick overview of how the N scores vs the H55 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon PowerShot N and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H55. The whole galleries are provided at Canon N Gallery and Sony H55 Gallery.

If you're going to lug around your camera frequently, you have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Canon N offers physical dimensions of 79mm x 60mm x 29mm (3.1" x 2.4" x 1.1") with a weight of 195 grams (0.43 lbs) while the Sony H55 has dimensions of 103mm x 58mm x 29mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.1") with a weight of 200 grams (0.44 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at that time. Following is the front view dimensions comparison of the N compared to the H55.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the N and H55 is 93 and 92 respectively.

Sometimes, it is difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through a spec sheet. The visual below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the N and H55.

Clearly, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Sony H55 to provide you with greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more recent N will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
