Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX9 with Samsung ST80 Overview


Let's compare Samsung ST80 with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX9. These models are included in the Ultracompact cameras. Samsung ST80 was released in 2010, and Sony WX9 in 2011. Cyber-shot DSC-WX9 is newer, which is a plus. ST80 1 years older.
The sensor resolution of ST80 is greater than that of Cyber-shot DSC-WX9. However, the difference of 2 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (Cyber-shot DSC-WX9), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Samsung ST80, the maximum ISO is greater by 1600. Both cameras have Optical image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
Samsung ST80 has 10.0 fps continuous shooting.
