Sony NEX-6 vs Sony WX350 Sensor Comparison

          

          

            
Typically, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor dimensions purely by looking through technical specs. The pic here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the NEX-6 and WX350.
As you have seen, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The NEX-6 with its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Sony WX350 will render more detail because of its extra 2MP. Greater resolution will let you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more aged NEX-6 will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
