Below is a in depth review of the Nikon B500 vs Sony H200, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by manufacturers Nikon and Sony. The image resolution of the B500 (16MP) and the H200 (20MP) is fairly similar and both cameras boast the same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The B500 was introduced 3 years later than the H200 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before going straight to a detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the B500 scores against the H200 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Coolpix B500 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200. The whole galleries are provided at Nikon B500 Gallery and Sony H200 Gallery.

For those who are aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to factor its weight and proportions. The Nikon B500 offers outer measurements of 114mm x 78mm x 95mm (4.5" x 3.1" x 3.7") and a weight of 541 grams (1.19 lbs) while the Sony H200 has measurements of 123mm x 83mm x 87mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 3.4") with a weight of 530 grams (1.17 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have during that time. Following is a front view physical size comparison of the B500 against the H200.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the B500 and H200 is 68 and 67 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements merely by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the B500 and H200.

As you can see, each of the cameras have the same sensor dimensions but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H200 to deliver extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The newer B500 will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
