Sony H200 vs Sony T900

Here is a in depth review of the Sony H200 versus Sony T900, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Ultracompact and both of them are offered by Sony.

The H200 was released 3 years later than the T900 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. The two cameras come with different body type with the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony T900 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before going straight into a in-depth comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the H200 matches up versus the T900 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900. The complete galleries are available at Sony H200 Gallery and Sony T900 Gallery.

If you're looking to carry your camera regularly, you will have to think about its weight and dimensions.

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have chosen at the time. Following is the front view over all size comparison of the H200 vs the T900.

Often, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing simply by seeing technical specs. The graphic below will give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the H200 and T900.

As you have seen, both of those cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony H200 to show more detail as a result of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images much more aggressively. The more modern H200 will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
