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.

For anybody who is aiming to lug around your camera, you are going to need to factor in its weight and measurements. The Nikon S3700 provides outside measurements of 96mm x 58mm x 20mm (3.8" x 2.3" x 0.8") and a weight of 118 grams (0.26 lbs) and the Sony TX7 has proportions of 98mm x 60mm x 18mm (3.9" x 2.4" x 0.7") having a weight of 149 grams (0.33 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you have chosen at the time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the S3700 compared to the TX7.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the S3700 and TX7 is 96 and 95 respectively.

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.
