The TL205 was manufactured 10 years before the A6100 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras offer different body type with the Samsung TL205 being a Ultracompact camera and the Sony A6100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving through a in-depth comparison, below is a concise highlight of how the TL205 matches up against the A6100 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Samsung TL205 and Sony Alpha a6100. The entire galleries are available at Samsung TL205 Gallery and Sony A6100 Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera, you're going to have to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Generally, it is very hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizing purely by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph here should give you a much better sense of the sensor sizing in the TL205 and A6100.

Clearly, each of the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The TL205 due to its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF more difficult and the Sony A6100 will provide you with greater detail due to its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The older TL205 will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
