Samsung WB700 vs Sony HX200V

Let's look a little more closely at the Samsung WB700 and Sony HX200V, one is a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by companies Samsung and Sony. There exists a significant gap between the resolutions of the WB700 (14MP) and HX200V (18MP) but they come with the exact same sensor size (1/2.3").

The WB700 was manufactured 16 months prior to the HX200V making the cameras a generation away from one another. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Samsung WB700 being a Compact camera and the Sony HX200V being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go straight into a in depth comparison, below is a short summation of how the WB700 matches up against the HX200V with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Samsung WB700 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V. The entire galleries are provided at Samsung WB700 Gallery and Sony HX200V Gallery.

Typically, it is very difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions merely by looking at specifications. The picture underneath might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the WB700 and HX200V.

To sum up, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony HX200V to give more detail due to its extra 4MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged WB700 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
