Its time to look a bit more closely at the Pentax Efina versus Sony TX7, both Ultracompact digital cameras by competitors Pentax and Sony. There exists a big gap between the resolutions of the Efina (14MP) and TX7 (10MP) and the Efina (1/2.3") and TX7 (1/2.4") boast totally different sensor measurements.

The Efina was revealed 3 years later than the TX7 and that is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (Ultracompact).

Before we go right into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple introduction of how the Efina scores vs the TX7 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Pentax Efina and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7. The full galleries are available at Pentax Efina Gallery and Sony TX7 Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to carry your camera, you will have to factor in its weight and dimensions.

More often than not, it's hard to see the contrast between sensor sizing purely by going over specifications. The photograph below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the Efina and TX7.

Plainly, both the cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Efina with its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Pentax Efina will offer extra detail because of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The younger Efina is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
