Sony H200 vs Sony RX100 VI Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it can be difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions purely by viewing a spec sheet. The image below may offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the H200 and RX100 VI.

As you can see, the two cameras provide the same megapixels but not the same sensor dimensions. The H200 uses the smaller sensor which will make achieving shallower DOF tougher. The more aged H200 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
