Samsung TL100 vs Sony A6300

Lets look more closely at the Samsung TL100 vs Sony A6300, one being a Small Sensor Compact and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by manufacturers Samsung and Sony. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the TL100 (12MP) and A6300 (24MP) and the TL100 (1/2.3") and A6300 (APS-C) feature different sensor sizing.

The TL100 was manufactured 8 years earlier than the A6300 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras offer different body type with the Samsung TL100 being a Compact camera and the Sony A6300 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving in to a in-depth comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the TL100 grades against the A6300 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Samsung TL100 and Sony Alpha a6300. The entire galleries are provided at Samsung TL100 Gallery and Sony A6300 Gallery.

When you are planning to lug around your camera often, you're going to have to factor in its weight and volume.

More often than not, it is very tough to imagine the gap in sensor measurements purely by looking through technical specs. The photograph here will help give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TL100 and A6300.

As you can tell, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The TL100 because of its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony A6300 will render more detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older TL100 will be behind in sensor innovation.
