Sony RX1 vs Sony T900

Lets look a little more in depth at the Sony RX1 versus Sony T900, former being a Large Sensor Compact while the other is a Ultracompact and both are manufactured by Sony. There exists a considerable gap among the sensor resolutions of the RX1 (24MP) and T900 (12MP) and the RX1 (Full frame) and T900 (1/2.3") possess different sensor measurements.

The RX1 was revealed 4 years later than the T900 and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Sony RX1 being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony T900 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before we go in to a more detailed comparison, below is a simple synopsis of how the RX1 matches up versus the T900 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 & Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900. The full galleries are viewable at Sony RX1 Gallery & Sony T900 Gallery.

If you're aiming to carry your camera, you will need to consider its weight and proportions. The Sony RX1 has got physical measurements of 113mm x 65mm x 70mm (4.4" x 2.6" x 2.8") having a weight of 482 grams (1.06 lbs) and the Sony T900 has measurements of 98mm x 58mm x 16mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 0.6") along with a weight of 143 grams (0.32 lbs).

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the RX1 and T900 is 79 and 96 respectively.

Sometimes, it can be hard to visualize the gap in sensor sizing merely by going through technical specs. The photograph below should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the RX1 and T900.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The RX1 having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Sony RX1 will produce extra detail because of its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more recent RX1 should have an edge in sensor tech.
