The HX10V was announced 8 months later than the HX7V so they are both of a similar age. Both of the cameras come with the identical body type (Compact).

Before we go through a full comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the HX10V matches up against the HX7V with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX10V & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX7V. The whole galleries are viewable at Sony HX10V Gallery & Sony HX7V Gallery.

When you are aiming to lug around your camera often, you will need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by researching specifications. The photograph here may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the HX10V and HX7V.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Sony HX10V to result in greater detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger HX10V will have a benefit when it comes to sensor technology.
