Photography Glossary

The A7c was manufactured 6 years after the HX400V which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Sony A7c being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony HX400V being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief summation of how the A7c matches up versus the HX400V in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Sony Alpha A7c and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX400V. The entire galleries are viewable at Sony A7c Gallery and Sony HX400V Gallery.

Usually, its difficult to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading specifications. The picture below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the A7c and HX400V.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The A7c because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Sony A7c will offer extra detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures way more aggressively. The younger A7c should have an edge in sensor technology.
