The EX-100 was announced 6 years earlier than the A6100 which is quite a serious difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Casio EX-100 being a Compact camera and the Sony A6100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the EX-100 grades versus the A6100 for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

More often than not, its difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions merely by going over a spec sheet. The image here may offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the EX-100 and A6100.

As you can see, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The EX-100 with its tinier sensor will make getting shallow depth of field more challenging and the Sony A6100 will deliver greater detail with its extra 12MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more aged EX-100 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
