Sony H70 vs Sony RX1R Sensor Comparison
Sometimes, it is very hard to envision the difference in sensor measurements simply by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the H70 and RX1R.
As you can see, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The H70 due to its smaller sensor will make shooting bokeh more difficult and the Sony RX1R will result in more detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos far more aggressively. The older H70 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
