Lets take a closer look at the Samsung HZ10W versus Sony HX50V, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by manufacturers Samsung and Sony. There exists a significant gap between the sensor resolutions of the HZ10W (10MP) and HX50V (20MP) but they enjoy the exact same sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The HZ10W was brought out 5 years earlier than the HX50V and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going through a complete comparison, below is a short view of how the HZ10W scores against the HX50V when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung HZ10W and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX50V. The entire galleries are available at Samsung HZ10W Gallery and Sony HX50V Gallery.

If you're aiming to carry your camera frequently, you need to take into account its weight and size.

Sometimes, it can be hard to imagine the difference between sensor sizing only by reading through a spec sheet. The graphic below might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the HZ10W and HX50V.

Clearly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You should count on the Sony HX50V to give you greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older HZ10W is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
