The D2H was released 10 years earlier than the QX10 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Nikon D2H being a Large SLR camera and the Sony QX10 being a Lens-style camera.

Before going right into a thorough comparison, here is a concise summation of how the D2H scores vs the QX10 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon D2H and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-QX10. The complete galleries are viewable at Nikon D2H Gallery and Sony QX10 Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera regularly, you'll need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Below is a front view overall size comparison of the D2H and the QX10.

Sometimes, it is very hard to imagine the gap in sensor sizing simply by going through technical specs. The photograph underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the D2H and QX10.

As you can tell, the two cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The D2H featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Sony QX10 will provide more detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The older D2H will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
