The ST700 was unveiled 8 years earlier than the RX100 VI and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Samsung ST700 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony RX100 VI being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go right into a in-depth comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the ST700 matches up versus the RX100 VI with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Oftentimes, its tough to imagine the contrast in sensor measurements merely by researching a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the ST700 and RX100 VI.

Clearly, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The ST700 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving bokeh tougher and the Sony RX100 VI will result in extra detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The older ST700 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
