Nikon B600 vs Sony RX10

Lets look more in depth at the Nikon B600 versus Sony RX10, former is a Small Sensor Superzoom while the other is a Large Sensor Superzoom by brands Nikon and Sony. The sensor resolution of the B600 (16MP) and the RX10 (20MP) is very close but the B600 (1/2.3") and RX10 (1") offer totally different sensor sizing.

The B600 was manufactured 4 years after the RX10 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before diving straight to a detailed comparison, here is a concise summation of how the B600 matches up versus the RX10 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Typically, it's difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizes only by researching a spec sheet. The picture here will help offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the B600 and RX10.

As you can see, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The B600 due to its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Sony RX10 will provide you with extra detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images more aggressively. The more recent B600 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
