Samsung HZ25W vs Sony HX10V

Lets examine more closely at the Samsung HZ25W and Sony HX10V, both Small Sensor Superzoom digital cameras by competitors Samsung and Sony. There is a considerable difference between the sensor resolutions of the HZ25W (12MP) and HX10V (18MP) but they feature the exact same sensor sizes (1/2.3").

The HZ25W was unveiled 20 months prior to the HX10V which makes the cameras a generation away from each other. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before going in to a complete comparison, below is a brief view of how the HZ25W scores against the HX10V when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung HZ25W & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX10V. The full galleries are provided at Samsung HZ25W Gallery & Sony HX10V Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry around your camera, you'll have to take into account its weight and size.

Often, its hard to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading a spec sheet. The pic below might give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the HZ25W and HX10V.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You can count on the Sony HX10V to offer greater detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged HZ25W is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
