Sony A7c vs Sony W330 Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both cameras have different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A7c because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony A7c will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more recent A7c should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
