Kodak M380 vs Sony A6000 Sensor Comparison

Plainly, both cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M380 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field trickier and the Sony A6000 will result in more detail due to its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs a little more aggressively. The older M380 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
