Sony NEX-F3 vs Sony HX90V

Following is a thorough analysis of the Sony NEX-F3 versus Sony HX90V, one is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both produced by Sony. The image resolution of the NEX-F3 (16MP) and the HX90V (18MP) is relatively well matched but the NEX-F3 (APS-C) and HX90V (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor sizes.

The NEX-F3 was manufactured 3 years before the HX90V which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Sony NEX-F3 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony HX90V being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight into a complete comparison, below is a concise introduction of how the NEX-F3 matches up against the HX90V in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Typically, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor sizes merely by checking a spec sheet. The pic underneath will offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the NEX-F3 and HX90V.

As you can see, both of those cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The NEX-F3 featuring a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony HX90V will resolve more detail due to its extra 2MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The more aged NEX-F3 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
