The QX1 was announced 4 years after the T99 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Sony QX1 being a Lens-style camera and the Sony T99 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before delving straight into a comprehensive comparison, below is a quick summary of how the QX1 matches up vs the T99 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Alpha QX1 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T99. The whole galleries are available at Sony QX1 Gallery and Sony T99 Gallery.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have during that time. Underneath is the front view scale comparison of the QX1 against the T99.

Typically, its hard to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions just by viewing specifications. The picture underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the QX1 and T99.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The QX1 using its larger sensor will make achieving bokeh less difficult and the Sony QX1 will render extra detail with its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos much more aggressively. The fresher QX1 is going to have an edge in sensor tech.
