The NEX-7 was brought out 3 years earlier than the H300 and that is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Sony NEX-7 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H300 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going into a thorough comparison, here is a simple overview of how the NEX-7 grades versus the H300 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sony Alpha NEX-7 & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H300. The entire galleries are provided at Sony NEX-7 Gallery & Sony H300 Gallery.

When you are intending to carry your camera regularly, you will have to factor in its weight and proportions.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you are utilising during that time. Below is a front view scale comparison of the NEX-7 against the H300.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the NEX-7 and H300 is 84 and 63 respectively.

Typically, it is very difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizing simply by going over specifications. The graphic here might give you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the NEX-7 and H300.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The NEX-7 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony NEX-7 will offer you greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older NEX-7 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
