Sony A7S III vs Sony W710 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Sometimes, it's hard to picture the contrast in sensor sizes just by researching specs. The picture underneath will provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the A7S III and W710.
As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The A7S III with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF easier and the Sony W710 will provide you with extra detail having an extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The newer A7S III should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
