Sony H200 vs Sony RX100 V

Below, we are contrasting the Sony H200 and Sony RX100 V, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Large Sensor Compact and both are offered by Sony. The sensor resolution of the H200 (20MP) and the RX100 V (20MP) is very well matched but the H200 (1/2.3") and RX100 V (1") enjoy totally different sensor sizing.

The H200 was released 4 years earlier than the RX100 V and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony RX100 V being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go in to a detailed comparison, below is a concise summation of how the H200 scores against the RX100 V when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Quite often, its hard to see the difference between sensor measurements merely by reading through technical specs. The visual underneath may provide you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the H200 and RX100 V.

As you can tell, each of the cameras posses the exact same megapixel count but not the same sensor measurements. The H200 has got the tinier sensor which will make achieving shallow depth of field more difficult. The older H200 is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
