Oftentimes, it can be hard to envision the difference between sensor measurements purely by going over technical specs. The visual here will help offer you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the SP-810 UZ and A6100.

As you can tell, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The SP-810 UZ due to its tinier sensor will make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony A6100 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older SP-810 UZ is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
