Olympus SP-620 UZ vs Sony RX100 VI

Here, we are contrasting the Olympus SP-620 UZ versus Sony RX100 VI, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Large Sensor Compact by rivals Olympus and Sony. The sensor resolution of the SP-620 UZ (16MP) and the RX100 VI (20MP) is very well matched but the SP-620 UZ (1/2.3") and RX100 VI (1") posses different sensor measurements.

The SP-620 UZ was released 7 years prior to the RX100 VI which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Olympus SP-620 UZ being a Compact camera and the Sony RX100 VI being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before going into a complete comparison, here is a short summation of how the SP-620 UZ grades against the RX100 VI in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Olympus SP-620 UZ and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VI. The complete galleries are viewable at Olympus SP-620 UZ Gallery and Sony RX100 VI Gallery.

When you are planning to carry around your camera often, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Typically, it is difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading through specifications. The pic underneath might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the SP-620 UZ and RX100 VI.

Plainly, both cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The SP-620 UZ because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Sony RX100 VI will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged SP-620 UZ is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
