Sony H90 vs Sony A77 II

Lets take a deeper look at the Sony H90 vs Sony A77 II, one being a Small Sensor Superzoom and the other is a Advanced DSLR and both are built by Sony. There is a huge difference among the resolutions of the H90 (16MP) and A77 II (24MP) and the H90 (1/2.3") and A77 II (APS-C) have totally different sensor size.

The H90 was introduced 3 years earlier than the A77 II and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Sony H90 being a Compact camera and the Sony A77 II being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before getting into a comprehensive comparison, here is a short highlight of how the H90 matches up versus the A77 II in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H90 and Sony SLT-A77 II. The whole galleries are available at Sony H90 Gallery and Sony A77 II Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera often, you'll need to factor its weight and dimensions.

Often, it's tough to envision the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The visual here will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the H90 and A77 II.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The H90 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A77 II will result in more detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop pics way more aggressively. The older H90 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
