Pentax Q7 vs Sony TX1

Below is a in-depth assessment of the Pentax Q7 versus Sony TX1, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Ultracompact by brands Pentax and Sony. The sensor resolution of the Q7 (12MP) and the TX1 (10MP) is very close but the Q7 (1/1.7") and TX1 (1/2.4") provide totally different sensor measurements.

The Q7 was introduced 4 years later than the TX1 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Pentax Q7 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony TX1 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before going straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short highlight of how the Q7 matches up versus the TX1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

More often than not, it can be tough to visualise the difference in sensor measurements purely by researching specs. The graphic here may offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the Q7 and TX1.

All in all, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The Q7 using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Pentax Q7 will provide you with more detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher Q7 is going to have a benefit in sensor innovation.
