The SX700 HS was launched 2 years later than the HX9V and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Compact).

Before delving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a simple overview of how the SX700 HS matches up against the HX9V when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon PowerShot SX700 HS and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V. The complete galleries are available at Canon SX700 HS Gallery and Sony HX9V Gallery.

If you're going to carry your camera regularly, you'll need to take into account its weight and measurements.

Oftentimes, it can be hard to visualise the gap between sensor sizing purely by reading specifications. The visual underneath should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SX700 HS and HX9V.

Plainly, the two cameras provide the same sensor dimensions and the same exact MP and you should expect similar quality of images though you have to take the production date of the products into consideration. The more recent SX700 HS is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
