Sony A6300 vs Sony HX1

Let's examine more in depth at the Sony A6300 vs Sony HX1, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both built by Sony. There is a crucial difference among the resolutions of the A6300 (24MP) and HX1 (9MP) and the A6300 (APS-C) and HX1 (1/2.4") come with different sensor sizes.

The A6300 was released 6 years after the HX1 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Sony A6300 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony HX1 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going through a more detailed comparison, below is a quick overview of how the A6300 grades against the HX1 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sony Alpha a6300 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1. The complete galleries are provided at Sony A6300 Gallery and Sony HX1 Gallery.

In case you're looking to travel with your camera regularly, you will have to factor its weight and dimensions.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Here is the front view over all size comparison of the A6300 and the HX1.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the A6300 and HX1 is 83 and 67 respectively.

Usually, it can be tough to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions only by checking out specifications. The picture here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the A6300 and HX1.

To sum up, both of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The A6300 due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony A6300 will provide greater detail as a result of its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The fresher A6300 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
