Samsung TL320 vs Sony A6000 Sensor Comparison

All in all, the 2 cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The TL320 having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony A6000 will produce more detail using its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The older TL320 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
