Sony NEX-5 vs Sony T110

Let's look more in depth at the Sony NEX-5 versus Sony T110, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Ultracompact and they are both manufactured by Sony. The image resolution of the NEX-5 (14MP) and the T110 (16MP) is relatively comparable but the NEX-5 (APS-C) and T110 (1/2.3") offer different sensor dimensions.

The NEX-5 was manufactured 7 months earlier than the T110 which means that they are both of a similar generation. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Sony NEX-5 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony T110 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief view of how the NEX-5 matches up versus the T110 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Sony Alpha NEX-5 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T110. The entire galleries are viewable at Sony NEX-5 Gallery and Sony T110 Gallery.

If you are going to lug around your camera, you have to think about its weight and proportions. The Sony NEX-5 enjoys outside dimensions of 111mm x 59mm x 38mm (4.4" x 2.3" x 1.5") with a weight of 287 grams (0.63 lbs) while the Sony T110 has measurements of 93mm x 56mm x 17mm (3.7" x 2.2" x 0.7") having a weight of 121 grams (0.27 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you have attached at that time. The following is a front view dimension comparison of the NEX-5 against the T110.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the NEX-5 and T110 is 89 and 96 respectively.

More often than not, it can be hard to picture the gap in sensor measurements simply by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic here may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the NEX-5 and T110.

Clearly, both of these cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The NEX-5 because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony T110 will provide greater detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The older NEX-5 will be behind in sensor technology.
