Nikon S3700 vs Sony TX7

Let's look a little more closely at the Nikon S3700 versus Sony TX7, both Ultracompact digital cameras by brands Nikon and Sony. There is a substantial difference between the image resolutions of the S3700 (20MP) and TX7 (10MP) and the S3700 (1/2.3") and TX7 (1/2.4") have totally different sensor measurements.

The S3700 was released 5 years later than the TX7 and that is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before diving into a in-depth comparison, here is a concise summation of how the S3700 grades against the TX7 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to envision the contrast between sensor measurements just by checking technical specs. The graphic here will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the S3700 and TX7.

As you have seen, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S3700 featuring a larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF easier and the Nikon S3700 will resolve extra detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images way more aggressively. The more modern S3700 is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
