Sony A7S II vs Sony a3500

Let's examine more in depth at the Sony A7S II versus Sony a3500, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless and they are both manufactured by Sony. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the A7S II (12MP) and a3500 (20MP) and the A7S II (Full frame) and a3500 (APS-C) possess totally different sensor sizes.

The A7S II was announced 19 months later than the a3500 which makes the cameras a generation apart from one another. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting in to a full comparison, below is a brief overview of how the A7S II grades versus the a3500 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ dependant on the lens you use during that time. Underneath is the front view measurements comparison of the A7S II compared to the a3500.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the A7S II and a3500 is 68 and 69 respectively.

Quite often, its hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by viewing technical specs. The graphic here may offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the A7S II and a3500.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The A7S II having a bigger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony a3500 will render extra detail with its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The younger A7S II is going to have a benefit in sensor technology.
