Sony a1 vs Sony H55

Here, we will be reviewing the Sony a1 vs Sony H55, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact and both are created by Sony. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the a1 (50MP) and H55 (14MP) and the a1 (Full frame) and H55 (1/2.3") have totally different sensor dimensions.

The a1 was revealed 10 years after the H55 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Sony a1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H55 being a Compact camera.

Before going right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a concise summation of how the a1 matches up vs the H55 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Sony Alpha a1 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H55. The full galleries are available at Sony a1 Gallery and Sony H55 Gallery.

In case you're going to travel with your camera frequently, you will need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Sony a1 provides exterior measurements of 129mm x 97mm x 70mm (5.1" x 3.8" x 2.8") with a weight of 737 grams (1.62 lbs) whilst the Sony H55 has proportions of 103mm x 58mm x 29mm (4.1" x 2.3" x 1.1") along with a weight of 200 grams (0.44 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are working with at that time. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the a1 against the H55.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the a1 and H55 is 61 and 92 respectively.

Typically, it is very tough to see the gap in sensor dimensions purely by looking through a spec sheet. The pic underneath will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the a1 and H55.

As you can see, both cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The a1 using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony a1 will provide you with more detail because of its extra 36MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The newer a1 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
