Samsung HZ50W vs Sony H200

Let's take a deeper look at the Samsung HZ50W vs Sony H200, both Small Sensor Superzoom cameras by manufacturers Samsung and Sony. There is a crucial difference among the sensor resolutions of the HZ50W (14MP) and H200 (20MP) but both cameras provide the identical sensor measurements (1/2.3").

The HZ50W was introduced 3 years prior to the H200 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (SLR-like (bridge)).

Before going into a in-depth comparison, here is a short view of how the HZ50W grades vs the H200 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

If you are intending to lug around your camera frequently, you should take into account its weight and dimensions.

Usually, it is tough to see the difference in sensor measurements purely by researching specifications. The visual below will provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the HZ50W and H200.

Plainly, the 2 cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Sony H200 to result in more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The older HZ50W will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
