Sony A6100 vs Sony A6700 Sensor Comparison

Often, it's tough to visualise the difference between sensor sizing just by checking specs. The graphic here may give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the A6100 and A6700.

All in all, both cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Sony A6700 to give you greater detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images way more aggressively. The older A6100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
