Sony H20 vs Sony RX1R II

Its time to look a little more closely at the Sony H20 versus Sony RX1R II, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the other is a Large Sensor Compact and both of them are manufactured by Sony. There exists a crucial gap between the resolutions of the H20 (10MP) and RX1R II (42MP) and the H20 (1/2.3") and RX1R II (Full frame) use totally different sensor measurements.

The H20 was revealed 7 years prior to the RX1R II and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer different body type with the Sony H20 being a Compact camera and the Sony RX1R II being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before getting in to a full comparison, below is a brief view of how the H20 grades versus the RX1R II in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R II. The full galleries are provided at Sony H20 Gallery and Sony RX1R II Gallery.

In case you're planning to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions. The Sony H20 has got external measurements of 107mm x 69mm x 47mm (4.2" x 2.7" x 1.9") along with a weight of 250 grams (0.55 lbs) and the Sony RX1R II has measurements of 113mm x 65mm x 72mm (4.4" x 2.6" x 2.8") along with a weight of 507 grams (1.12 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have chosen during that time. Here is the front view size comparison of the H20 vs the RX1R II.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the H20 and RX1R II is 87 and 78 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to visualise the gap between sensor measurements simply by going over a spec sheet. The visual below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the H20 and RX1R II.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The H20 having a tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF trickier and the Sony RX1R II will offer you greater detail because of its extra 32 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop images far more aggressively. The older H20 is going to be behind in sensor technology.
