As well as being compared against other ultra compacts, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 is also often compared to mirrorless, pro digicams, travel zooms and compacts. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1's top rivals come from Sony (such as the Cybershot WX7 and the Cyber-shot DSC-WX5) and Canon (such as the Powershot S100 and the ELPH 300 HS)
