Panasonic S1 vs Sony HX90V

Let's look more closely at the Panasonic S1 versus Sony HX90V, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Panasonic and Sony. There is a big difference between the sensor resolutions of the S1 (12MP) and HX90V (18MP) but both cameras offer the identical sensor size (1/2.3").

The S1 was revealed 5 years earlier than the HX90V which is quite a big gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Compact).

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short overview of how the S1 matches up vs the HX90V in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Panasonic Lumix DMC-S1 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V. The full galleries are available at Panasonic S1 Gallery and Sony HX90V Gallery.

For anyone who is aiming to carry around your camera, you'll have to think about its weight and measurements. The Panasonic S1 features external dimensions of 99mm x 59mm x 21mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 0.8") with a weight of 117 grams (0.26 lbs) and the Sony HX90V has proportions of 102mm x 58mm x 36mm (4.0" x 2.3" x 1.4") accompanied by a weight of 245 grams (0.54 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at that time. Underneath is a front view sizing comparison of the S1 vs the HX90V.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability grade of the S1 and HX90V is 96 and 91 respectively.

Oftentimes, it can be hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading technical specs. The image here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the S1 and HX90V.

As you have seen, both of these cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different megapixels. You should count on the Sony HX90V to offer you extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The more aged S1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
