16.0MP APS-C (23.4 x 15.6 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Bionz processor.
Below you can see the QX1 and NEX-5T sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony QX1 and Sony NEX-5T Cameras
Sony QX1 and Sony NEX-5T have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Sony QX1
or the
Sony NEX-5T ,
including hyperfocal distance.
