The Z981 was unveiled 4 years before the H300 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving through a comprehensive comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the Z981 scores vs the H300 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For anybody who is intending to lug around your camera, you'll need to factor its weight and measurements.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilising at that time. Underneath is the front view measurement comparison of the Z981 versus the H300.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Z981 and H300 is 66 and 63 respectively.

Quite often, it is difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements merely by seeing specifications. The photograph here will give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the Z981 and H300.

To sum up, both of the cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can anticipate the Sony H300 to show more detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older Z981 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
