To sum up, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Sony A6300 to offer extra detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged A200 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
