Sony A7R III vs Sony H50

Let's look more closely at the Sony A7R III and Sony H50, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both are created by Sony. There is a crucial difference between the sensor resolutions of the A7R III (42MP) and H50 (9MP) and the A7R III (Full frame) and H50 (1/2.3") offer different sensor dimensions.

The A7R III was released 8 years later than the H50 and that is quite a serious gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Sony A7R III being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H50 being a Compact camera.

Before we go into a full comparison, here is a brief summation of how the A7R III matches up versus the H50 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Sony Alpha A7R III and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50. The complete galleries are provided at Sony A7R III Gallery and Sony H50 Gallery.

If you are going to carry your camera often, you will want to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Sony A7R III has got outside dimensions of 127mm x 96mm x 74mm (5.0" x 3.8" x 2.9") having a weight of 657 grams (1.45 lbs) and the Sony H50 has dimensions of 116mm x 81mm x 86mm (4.6" x 3.2" x 3.4") and a weight of 547 grams (1.21 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you have attached at that time. Below is a front view sizing comparison of the A7R III and the H50.

Looking at size and weight, the portability score of the A7R III and H50 is 63 and 69 respectively.

Oftentimes, it can be difficult to picture the difference between sensor sizing only by looking at technical specs. The photograph here should give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the A7R III and H50.

As you can tell, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A7R III because of its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony A7R III will give greater detail as a result of its extra 33MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The newer A7R III should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
