Samsung ST6500 vs Sony RX1R II

Here is a extended comparison of the Samsung ST6500 versus Sony RX1R II, one being a Ultracompact and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact by manufacturers Samsung and Sony. There is a sizeable difference between the sensor resolutions of the ST6500 (16MP) and RX1R II (42MP) and the ST6500 (1/2.3") and RX1R II (Full frame) enjoy totally different sensor size.

The ST6500 was introduced 5 years prior to the RX1R II and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Samsung ST6500 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony RX1R II being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting straight into a complete comparison, below is a simple overview of how the ST6500 grades vs the RX1R II in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Generally, it is tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reading through specs. The visual here will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the ST6500 and RX1R II.

As you can plainly see, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The ST6500 using its tinier sensor will make achieving bokeh harder and the Sony RX1R II will resolve more detail using its extra 26MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots far more aggressively. The older ST6500 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
