HX90V: 18 megapixels
ZS50/TZ70: 12 megapixels

Both Cameras: Sensor size: 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm)

Sensor Type

HX90V: BSI-CMOS
ZS50/TZ70: CMOS

Compare side by side here

I'd give the Sony the nod for video quality if that's important to you.

The ZS50/TZ71 and the Sony HX90V are arguably the best 30x pocket zooms on the market right now, IMO. Both have good EVFs. The HX90V has a flip up selfie-LCD, FWIW. Read the reviews on both, but I'd say they are better cameras than the SX700 series.

Are they both 1.33 sensor size ?

1/2.3" sensors
