Aber wozu braucht die 4 AA-Akkus, der SONY reichen 2...

The differences between these two new - and very similarly specified - cameras are minimal in terms of detail, overall tonal range and color. The H1 image has higher contrast, higher in-camera sharpening and a slightly more natural color rendition (though, as ever, reds are very saturated), and also very slightly lower luminance noise. Ultimately I very much doubt that anyone seeing a print from both cameras side by side would see any significant difference, with the possible exception of the H1's higher default contrast. I personally prefer not to have so much contrast out of the camera (there is always the risk of clipping of extreme highlights/shadows) - fortunately the H1 allows you to reduce the contrast - and the sharpening (which is also a little high) with a simple menu option.
