Sony A7c vs Sony WX80

Lets look more closely at the Sony A7c versus Sony WX80, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Compact and they are both built by Sony. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the A7c (24MP) and WX80 (16MP) and the A7c (Full frame) and WX80 (1/2.3") feature totally different sensor measurements.

Quite often, it is tough to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at technical specs. The graphic here should offer you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the A7c and WX80.

As you can tell, each of these cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The A7c because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Sony A7c will give more detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos much more aggressively. The newer A7c will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
