Leica TL vs Sony A6600 Sensor Comparison
Oftentimes, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor dimensions only by going through specs. The picture below will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the TL and A6600.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You should expect to see the Sony A6600 to show extra detail because of its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged TL will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
