Sigma Quattro vs Sony HX9V

On this page, we will be matching up the Sigma Quattro versus Sony HX9V, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom by competitors Sigma and Sony. There exists a significant gap among the resolutions of the Quattro (29MP) and HX9V (16MP) and the Quattro (APS-C) and HX9V (1/2.3") boast different sensor sizing.

The Quattro was introduced 4 years later than the HX9V and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras have different body design with the Sigma Quattro being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony HX9V being a Compact camera.

Before delving right into a complete comparison, here is a short summation of how the Quattro grades against the HX9V in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Sigma sd Quattro and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V. The whole galleries are viewable at Sigma Quattro Gallery and Sony HX9V Gallery.

In case you're planning to lug around your camera frequently, you are going to need to think about its weight and measurements.

Normally, it's difficult to picture the gap in sensor measurements only by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the Quattro and HX9V.

Clearly, both of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The Quattro having a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Sigma Quattro will provide extra detail using its extra 13MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent Quattro should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
