Sony A6100 vs Sony H200 Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it can be tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizing purely by reading specifications. The graphic here may give you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the A6100 and H200.

To sum up, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A6100 using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony A6100 will deliver greater detail because of its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern A6100 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
