Sony RX100 VII vs Sony S2000

Let's look much closer at the Sony RX100 VII versus Sony S2000, one is a Large Sensor Compact and the other is a Small Sensor Compact and both are designed by Sony. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the RX100 VII (20MP) and S2000 (10MP) and the RX100 VII (1") and S2000 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor measurements.

The RX100 VII was introduced 9 years after the S2000 which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Sony RX100 VII being a Large Sensor Compact camera and the Sony S2000 being a Compact camera.

Before we go through a comprehensive comparison, below is a short summary of how the RX100 VII grades against the S2000 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 VII and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S2000. The whole galleries are viewable at Sony RX100 VII Gallery and Sony S2000 Gallery.

When you are going to carry around your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor its weight and proportions.

More often than not, its tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes simply by reading specs. The picture here will provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the RX100 VII and S2000.

All in all, both of those cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The RX100 VII using its larger sensor will make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Sony RX100 VII will offer extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The younger RX100 VII is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
