Sony A7S III vs Sony TX200V Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Generally, it is hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes just by reviewing specs. The pic here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the A7S III and TX200V.
As you can plainly see, the two cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The A7S III with its larger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Sony TX200V will offer extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics way more aggressively. The newer A7S III should have a benefit with regard to sensor technology.
