Below is a complete overview of the Nikon Z7 II and Sony TX20, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Ultracompact by companies Nikon and Sony. There exists a huge gap among the sensor resolutions of the Z7 II (46MP) and TX20 (16MP) and the Z7 II (Full frame) and TX20 (1/2.3") use different sensor sizes.

The Z7 II was released 8 years later than the TX20 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Nikon Z7 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony TX20 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go straight into a complete comparison, below is a short introduction of how the Z7 II scores against the TX20 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Nikon Z7 Mark II and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX20. The complete galleries are viewable at Nikon Z7 II Gallery and Sony TX20 Gallery.

If you're planning to lug around your camera often, you will want to factor its weight and measurements. The Nikon Z7 II has got external measurements of 134mm x 101mm x 70mm (5.3" x 4.0" x 2.8") accompanied by a weight of 705 grams (1.55 lbs) and the Sony TX20 has proportions of 96mm x 56mm x 18mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 0.7") and a weight of 133 grams (0.29 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the Z7 II and the TX20.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the Z7 II and TX20 is 61 and 96 respectively.

More often than not, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements purely by researching a spec sheet. The photograph below should provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the Z7 II and TX20.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Z7 II because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Nikon Z7 II will render more detail as a result of its extra 30MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more recent Z7 II should have a benefit in sensor tech.
