Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 with Samsung TL500 Overview


Let's compare Samsung TL500 with Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20. These models are included in the Small Sensor Compact cameras. Samsung TL500 was released in 2010, and Sony H20 in 2009. TL500 is newer, which is a plus. Cyber-shot DSC-H20 1 years older. However 1 years, the difference is not so bad.
These two cameras have the same sensor resolution - 10 MP. 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-H20), 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. Both cameras have Optical image stabilization. Both cameras feature a 3-inch articulated screen.
Samsung TL500 has 2.0 fps continuous shooting.
