Samsung Galaxy Camera vs Sony A6000 Sensor Comparison
Often, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizing merely by going through specifications. The graphic below may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the Galaxy Camera and A6000.
To sum up, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The Galaxy Camera with its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF tougher and the Sony A6000 will provide greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The older Galaxy Camera will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
