Sony QX1 vs Sony W380

In this article, we will be comparing the Sony QX1 versus Sony W380, one being a Lens-style and the latter is a Ultracompact and both are produced by Sony. There exists a huge gap among the image resolutions of the QX1 (20MP) and W380 (14MP) and the QX1 (APS-C) and W380 (1/2.3") come with totally different sensor measurements.

The QX1 was revealed 4 years later than the W380 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Sony QX1 being a Lens-style camera and the Sony W380 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go in to a full comparison, below is a simple introduction of how the QX1 matches up versus the W380 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Sony Alpha QX1 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W380. The full galleries are available at Sony QX1 Gallery and Sony W380 Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera often, you'll need to take into account its weight and size.

Sometimes, it can be hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching specifications. The graphic below might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the QX1 and W380.

Plainly, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The QX1 having a bigger sensor will make achieving bokeh simpler and the Sony QX1 will result in greater detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots far more aggressively. The more modern QX1 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
