Nikon P600 vs Sony RX10 IV

Its time to take a deeper look at the Nikon P600 versus Sony RX10 IV, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Large Sensor Superzoom by companies Nikon and Sony. The sensor resolution of the P600 (16MP) and the RX10 IV (20MP) is relatively well matched but the P600 (1/2.3") and RX10 IV (1") provide totally different sensor sizes.

Sometimes, it's hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements simply by reading through technical specs. The photograph below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the P600 and RX10 IV.

As you can tell, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The P600 with its tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Sony RX10 IV will give greater detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older P600 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
