Lets look a little more in depth at the Samsung HZ10W versus Sony H300, former is a Small Sensor Compact while the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Samsung and Sony.

The HZ10W was unveiled 5 years prior to the H300 which is a fairly big difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung HZ10W being a Compact camera and the Sony H300 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting right into a in depth comparison, here is a simple summation of how the HZ10W grades against the H300 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Samsung HZ10W & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H300. The full galleries are available at Samsung HZ10W Gallery & Sony H300 Gallery.

When you are intending to travel with your camera often, you will need to factor in its weight and proportions.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. Underneath is a front view dimensions comparison of the HZ10W compared to the H300.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the HZ10W and H300 is 90 and 63 respectively.

Typically, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor dimensions just by viewing technical specs. The pic below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the HZ10W and H300.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different resolution. You can expect to see the Sony H300 to render extra detail having an extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged HZ10W will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
