Samsung ST700 vs Sony QX1

Here is a extensive assessment of the Samsung ST700 versus Sony QX1, one being a Ultracompact and the other is a Lens-style by companies Samsung and Sony. The sensor resolution of the ST700 (16MP) and the QX1 (20MP) is fairly comparable but the ST700 (1/2.3") and QX1 (APS-C) posses different sensor size.

The ST700 was unveiled 4 years prior to the QX1 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung ST700 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony QX1 being a Lens-style camera.

Before diving straight to a complete comparison, here is a short view of how the ST700 scores vs the QX1 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung ST700 and Sony Alpha QX1. The full galleries are viewable at Samsung ST700 Gallery and Sony QX1 Gallery.

For those who are looking to carry your camera frequently, you will want to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Samsung ST700 offers external dimensions of 99mm x 55mm x 20mm (3.9" x 2.2" x 0.8") and a weight of n/a grams (0.00 lbs) whilst the Sony QX1 has dimensions of 74mm x 70mm x 53mm (2.9" x 2.8" x 2.1") having a weight of 216 grams (0.48 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are utilising at the time. Here is a front view dimension comparison of the ST700 versus the QX1.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the ST700 and QX1 is 99 and 90 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizing only by going through technical specs. The graphic here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the ST700 and QX1.

As you can tell, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The ST700 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony QX1 will produce extra detail having an extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older ST700 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
