The ST150F was announced 7 years before the A6400 and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Samsung ST150F being a Compact camera and the Sony A6400 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going straight to a full comparison, here is a simple overview of how the ST150F grades versus the A6400 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Quite often, its hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements merely by looking through technical specs. The graphic here should provide you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the ST150F and A6400.

As you can tell, both the cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The ST150F having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field tougher and the Sony A6400 will result in more detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older ST150F will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
