Sony A7c vs Sony WX80

Lets look more closely at the Sony A7c versus Sony WX80, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Compact and they are both built by Sony. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the A7c (24MP) and WX80 (16MP) and the A7c (Full frame) and WX80 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor measurements.

The A7c was released 7 years later than the WX80 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras come with different body type with the Sony A7c being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony WX80 being a Compact camera.

Before diving straight into a full comparison, below is a concise overview of how the A7c matches up vs the WX80 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Alpha A7c and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80. The complete galleries are available at Sony A7c Gallery and Sony WX80 Gallery.

If you are planning to carry your camera frequently, you're going to have to consider its weight and measurements. The Sony A7c comes with physical dimensions of 124mm x 71mm x 60mm (4.9" x 2.8" x 2.4") having a weight of 509 grams (1.12 lbs) and the Sony WX80 has proportions of 92mm x 52mm x 22mm (3.6" x 2.0" x 0.9") with a weight of 124 grams (0.27 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Below is the front view sizing comparison of the A7c and the WX80.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the A7c and WX80 is 78 and 96 respectively.

Quite often, it is tough to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at technical specs. The graphic here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the A7c and WX80.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The A7c because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony A7c will give more detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The newer A7c will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
