Sony H200 vs Sony TX1

The following is a in-depth comparison of the Sony H200 versus Sony TX1, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Ultracompact and they are both offered by Sony. There exists a significant gap among the image resolutions of the H200 (20MP) and TX1 (10MP) and the H200 (1/2.3") and TX1 (1/2.4") have totally different sensor measurements.

The H200 was unveiled 3 years after the TX1 which is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have different body design with the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony TX1 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before getting straight to a detailed comparison, here is a simple view of how the H200 matches up versus the TX1 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1. The full galleries are available at Sony H200 Gallery and Sony TX1 Gallery.

If you're looking to travel with your camera regularly, you should factor its weight and size. The Sony H200 offers outer measurements of 123mm x 83mm x 87mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 3.4") accompanied by a weight of 530 grams (1.17 lbs) and the Sony TX1 has specifications of 94mm x 58mm x 17mm (3.7" x 2.3" x 0.7") and a weight of 142 grams (0.31 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have chosen at that time. Below is a front view dimension comparison of the H200 compared to the TX1.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the H200 and TX1 is 67 and 96 respectively.

Normally, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor dimensions merely by researching specifications. The image here should provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the H200 and TX1.

Plainly, both the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The H200 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF simpler and the Sony H200 will provide you with greater detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The fresher H200 is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
