Sony A7S vs Sony W510

Lets take a more detailed look at the Sony A7S versus Sony W510, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Ultracompact and both of them are manufactured by Sony. The sensor resolution of the A7S (12MP) and the W510 (12MP) is fairly close but the A7S (Full frame) and W510 (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor dimensions.

The A7S was released 3 years after the W510 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Sony A7S being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony W510 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go right into a complete comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the A7S matches up versus the W510 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Alpha A7S and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W510. The complete galleries are viewable at Sony A7S Gallery and Sony W510 Gallery.

In case you're looking to carry around your camera often, you will have to consider its weight and volume. The Sony A7S has got outer measurements of 127mm x 94mm x 48mm (5.0" x 3.7" x 1.9") along with a weight of 489 grams (1.08 lbs) and the Sony W510 has sizing of 96mm x 54mm x 20mm (3.8" x 2.1" x 0.8") accompanied by a weight of 119 grams (0.26 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are working with during that time. The following is a front view over all size comparison of the A7S versus the W510.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the A7S and W510 is 77 and 96 respectively.

Quite often, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor sizes only by looking through technical specs. The image here will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A7S and W510.

As you can tell, both of the cameras feature the identical megapixels but not the same sensor sizes. The A7S features the larger sensor which will make obtaining bokeh easier. The newer A7S is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
