Pentax Efina vs Sony RX10 III

Here, we will be contrasting the Pentax Efina versus Sony RX10 III, former is a Ultracompact while the latter is a Large Sensor Superzoom by competitors Pentax and Sony. There exists a large gap between the sensor resolutions of the Efina (14MP) and RX10 III (20MP) and the Efina (1/2.3") and RX10 III (1") provide totally different sensor sizing.

The Efina was announced 3 years prior to the RX10 III which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Pentax Efina being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony RX10 III being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before diving straight to a in depth comparison, here is a simple overview of how the Efina matches up against the RX10 III with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Pentax Efina & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 III. The whole galleries are provided at Pentax Efina Gallery & Sony RX10 III Gallery.

If you're going to carry around your camera frequently, you need to think about its weight and volume.

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are utilising at that time. Here is a front view sizing comparison of the Efina versus the RX10 III.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the Efina and RX10 III is 97 and 53 respectively.

More often than not, it can be difficult to envision the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading through specs. The picture here may give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Efina and RX10 III.

All in all, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The Efina with its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field trickier and the Sony RX10 III will give greater detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will help you crop photographs a good deal more aggressively. The more aged Efina is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
