Sony A7S vs Sony H200

Its time to look a bit more in depth at the Sony A7S versus Sony H200, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both are created by Sony. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the A7S (12MP) and H200 (20MP) and the A7S (Full frame) and H200 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor dimensions.

The A7S was announced 16 months later than the H200 which makes the cameras a generation apart from one another. Each of these cameras come with different body type with the Sony A7S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before getting straight into a thorough comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the A7S matches up versus the H200 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Sony Alpha A7S and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200. The whole galleries are viewable at Sony A7S Gallery and Sony H200 Gallery.

If you're planning to lug around your camera regularly, you need to think about its weight and volume. The Sony A7S features outside dimensions of 127mm x 94mm x 48mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 1.9") along with a weight of 489 grams (1.08 lbs) while the Sony H200 has sizing of 123mm x 83mm x 87mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 3.4") having a weight of 530 grams (1.17 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are working with at that moment. Following is the front view over all size comparison of the A7S against the H200.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability score of the A7S and H200 is 77 and 67 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements merely by going through specifications. The visual here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the A7S and H200.

To sum up, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The A7S with its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Sony H200 will show more detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures much more aggressively. The newer A7S is going to have an edge in sensor innovation.
