The a1 was revealed 9 years after the W690 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Sony a1 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Sony W690 being a Compact camera.

Before going in to a in-depth comparison, below is a simple view of how the a1 grades vs the W690 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Alpha a1 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W690. The full galleries are available at Sony a1 Gallery and Sony W690 Gallery.

If you're intending to carry around your camera, you are going to need to factor its weight and size.

Often, it can be tough to imagine the contrast in sensor sizes purely by checking out a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the a1 and W690.

Clearly, both cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The a1 using its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony a1 will produce greater detail because of its extra 34MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics far more aggressively. The newer a1 should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
