Sony A35 vs. Nikon P300
at 16mm. Backlight Scene - APS-C sensor vs. 1/2.3 sensor
	Comparison by Sinan Ozturk

This is not a very fair comparison for Nikon P300 as it has a very small 1/2.3 inch sensor against APS-C sensored Sony Alpha 35.

However it can demostrate how sensor size is effecting image quality and what you get if you have a bigger sensor SLR/SLT type camera instead of a compact camera.

Nikon P300's lens is 16mm equivalent for APS-C and I used Sony 16-50mm 2.8 lens at 16mm to get the exact point of view.

F8 is the sweet spot of Sony 16-50 lens but photo quality detoriates in F8 for NikonP300 so I set it to F5 for better performance. Actually its best performance was at F1.8 but to not to lose depth of field, I didn't use it.
