Sony A7S II vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its tough to see the gap in sensor sizes only by checking out specifications. The pic here should provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the A7S II and TX200V.
Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The A7S II having a larger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Sony TX200V will provide more detail using its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more modern A7S II is going to have a benefit in sensor tech.
