The Sony CyberShot DSC-W800 is mostly gets compared to travel zooms, super zooms, pro digicams, compacts and digicams. The Sony CyberShot DSC-W800's top rivals come from Sony (such as the Cyber-shot DSC-W830 and the Cyber-shot DSC-W810) and Nikon (such as the Coolpix A100 and the Coolpix A10)
Generally, compared to travel zoom competitors the Sony DSC-W800 has a slightly smaller screen (2.7" vs 3"), has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), is older (february 2014 vs january 2016), is thicker (2.1" vs 0.9") and has a slower max shutter speed (1/1500 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-W800 compared to super zoom competitors include: it is slightly smaller (ultra compact (50×22×54 mm) vs prosumer size (120×76×80 mm)), has better image stabilization (lens vs none), is newer (february 2014 vs july 2012), is thinner (2.1" vs 3.3") and is significantly lighter (125 g vs 499 g).
However, on average it has a much narrower wide angle lens (26 mm vs 4 mm), has a much smaller screen (2.7" vs 3") and has a significantly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 921k dots).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-W800 compared to pro digicam competitors include: it is much smaller (ultra compact (50×22×54 mm) vs compact (102×58×36 mm)), is newer (february 2014 vs june 2012), is significantly lighter (125 g vs 247 g) and is slightly less expensive ($88.00 vs $368.00).
However, on average it has a marginally smaller sensor (1/2.3" 6.16x4.55mm vs 1" 13.2x8.8mm), has a significantly narrower aperture (f/3.2 vs f/1.8), records lower quality movies (720p @ 30fps vs 1080p @ 60fps), has a much smaller screen (2.7" vs 3.2") and has a significantly lower resolution screen (230k dots vs 1,229k dots).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-W800 compared to compact competitors include: it is significantly smaller (ultra compact (50×22×54 mm) vs compact (96×59×29 mm)) and has better image stabilization (lens vs digital).
However, on average it has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), is older (february 2014 vs january 2015), is thicker (2.1" vs 0.9"), has a slower max shutter speed (1/1500 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second) and slightly shorter exposures (2 seconds vs 60 seconds).
Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-W800 compared to digicam competitors include: it has a slightly wider wide angle lens (26 mm vs 30 mm), has better image stabilization (lens vs digital) and takes slightly higher resolution photos (9.7 MP vs 5.7 MP).
However, on average it has a CCD-family sensor (CCD vs CMOS), is older (february 2014 vs august 2016) and has a slower max shutter speed (1/1500 of a second vs 1/2000 of a second).
