Sony QX1 vs Sony TX200V

Below is a in-depth assessment of the Sony QX1 versus Sony TX200V, former being a Lens-style while the other is a Ultracompact and both are designed by Sony. The sensor resolution of the QX1 (20MP) and the TX200V (18MP) is fairly comparable but the QX1 (APS-C) and TX200V (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor dimensions.

The QX1 was released 2 years later than the TX200V and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Sony QX1 being a Lens-style camera and the Sony TX200V being a Ultracompact camera.

Before diving into a in depth comparison, here is a simple view of how the QX1 matches up against the TX200V in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Alpha QX1 & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX200V. The complete galleries are provided at Sony QX1 Gallery & Sony TX200V Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to lug around your camera often, you are going to need to consider its weight and measurements.

Bear in mind, the weight of an ILC will change dependant on the lens you use during that time. The following is a front view size comparison of the QX1 versus the TX200V.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the QX1 and TX200V is 90 and 96 respectively.

Sometimes, it is tough to envision the difference in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The photograph below will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the QX1 and TX200V.

Clearly, the 2 cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The QX1 due to its larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony QX1 will show extra detail as a result of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The fresher QX1 is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
