The RX1 was unveiled 2 years after the T99 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Sony RX1 being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony T99 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before getting straight to a in depth comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the RX1 grades against the T99 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T99. The full galleries are provided at Sony RX1 Gallery and Sony T99 Gallery.

For those who are looking to travel with your camera frequently, you are going to need to take into account its weight and volume.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the RX1 and T99 is 79 and 96 respectively.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions simply by going over technical specs. The image below may give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the RX1 and T99.

As you have seen, the two cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The RX1 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony RX1 will deliver extra detail having an extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also allow you to crop photos way more aggressively. The younger RX1 provides an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
