Samsung ST150F vs Sony A6000 Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements simply by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the ST150F and A6000.

Clearly, each of these cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ST150F using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony A6000 will show greater detail using its extra 8 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older ST150F will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
