The Z1485 IS was introduced 3 years earlier than the WX30 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before getting into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the Z1485 IS grades against the WX30 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you select at that time. Here is a front view measurement comparison of the Z1485 IS compared to the WX30.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the Z1485 IS and WX30 is 91 and 96 respectively.

Quite often, it is tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizes just by reading through technical specs. The picture underneath might offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z1485 IS and WX30.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The Z1485 IS using its larger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Sony WX30 will give you extra detail using its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Z1485 IS is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
