Sony RX1R vs Sony ZV-1F

Here, we will be contrasting the Sony RX1R vs Sony ZV-1F, both Large Sensor Compact cameras and they are both sold by Sony. The sensor resolution of the RX1R (24MP) and the ZV-1F (20MP) is relatively close but the RX1R (Full frame) and ZV-1F (1") posses different sensor size.

The RX1R was released 10 years before the ZV-1F which is a fairly large difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature the same body design (Large Sensor Compact).

Before we go right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a quick view of how the RX1R scores against the ZV-1F with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

If you're aiming to carry around your camera, you will have to factor its weight and measurements. The Sony RX1R features exterior measurements of 113mm x 65mm x 70mm (4.4" x 2.6" x 2.8") with a weight of 482 grams (1.06 lbs) while the Sony ZV-1F has proportions of 106mm x 60mm x 46mm (4.2" x 2.4" x 1.8") having a weight of 256 grams (0.56 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you are using at the time. Here is a front view over all size comparison of the RX1R versus the ZV-1F.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the RX1R and ZV-1F is 79 and 89 respectively.

More often than not, it is very difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizes just by researching specifications. The image underneath will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the RX1R and ZV-1F.

Plainly, both of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The RX1R due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony RX1R will result in greater detail as a result of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more aged RX1R will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
