Nikon Z7 II vs Sony HX100V

Lets take a more detailed look at the Nikon Z7 II and Sony HX100V, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Nikon and Sony. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the Z7 II (46MP) and HX100V (16MP) and the Z7 II (Full frame) and HX100V (1/2.3") come with different sensor size.

The Z7 II was revealed 9 years later than the HX100V and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Nikon Z7 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony HX100V being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a short view of how the Z7 II matches up vs the HX100V when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon Z7 Mark II and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V. The full galleries are available at Nikon Z7 II Gallery and Sony HX100V Gallery.

More often than not, its difficult to picture the difference between sensor sizing only by going over technical specs. The visual below may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the Z7 II and HX100V.

As you can tell, both of these cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Z7 II with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Nikon Z7 II will deliver more detail because of its extra 30MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger Z7 II provides a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
