Camera Comparison

Sony A35 vs. Sony RX100 2

at 18mm.
at wide angle
 
Comparison by Sinan Ozturk   
Sony Alpha A-35 is a APS-C sensor camera, Sony RX100 make 2 is a compact camera with 1 inch sensor. Even though RX100 2's sensor is big in comparison to its small size, its still smaller than APS-C, hence Sony A-35.

In this comparison Sony A-35 had a Sony 16-105 lens, where Sony RX100 2's lens is already a fixed one.

Both photos are taken at the same time and handheld, however you might notice the sky rendered quite differently in the photos. One reason for this is the Sony A-35 has a better (in my opinion!) color rendering, than RX100 but primary reason was A-35 had polarizer filter while taking the photos. So it rendered the sky more blue and also boosted contrast in the overall photo. However I believe that the comparison still gives a good idea of both camera's capabilities.
