Sony H200 vs Sony ZV-1

Here, we will be contrasting the Sony H200 versus Sony ZV-1, one is a Small Sensor Superzoom and the latter is a Large Sensor Compact and both of them are offered by Sony. The image resolution of the H200 (20MP) and the ZV-1 (20MP) is pretty well matched but the H200 (1/2.3") and ZV-1 (1") provide totally different sensor measurements.

The H200 was introduced 8 years prior to the ZV-1 which is quite a sizable gap as far as tech is concerned. Both the cameras feature different body design with the Sony H200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera and the Sony ZV-1 being a Large Sensor Compact camera.

Before we go right into a thorough comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the H200 scores versus the ZV-1 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200 and Sony ZV-1. The whole galleries are viewable at Sony H200 Gallery and Sony ZV-1 Gallery.

In case you're going to carry around your camera often, you're going to have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Sony H200 features physical dimensions of 123mm x 83mm x 87mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 3.4") accompanied by a weight of 530 grams (1.17 lbs) whilst the Sony ZV-1 has dimensions of 105mm x 60mm x 44mm (4.1" x 2.4" x 1.7") with a weight of 294 grams (0.65 lbs).

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you are utilising at that time. Here is a front view sizing comparison of the H200 versus the ZV-1.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the H200 and ZV-1 is 67 and 88 respectively.

In many cases, it's hard to see the difference between sensor sizes merely by reading through a spec sheet. The image below might provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the H200 and ZV-1.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with the identical resolution albeit not the same sensor sizes. The H200 comes with the tinier sensor which is going to make getting bokeh more challenging. The more aged H200 is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
