Sony A6100 vs Sony T900

Here, we will be looking at the Sony A6100 versus Sony T900, former is a Advanced Mirrorless while the latter is a Ultracompact and they are both sold by Sony. There exists a substantial gap between the sensor resolutions of the A6100 (24MP) and T900 (12MP) and the A6100 (APS-C) and T900 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor measurements.

The A6100 was announced 10 years after the T900 which is quite a big difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Sony A6100 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony T900 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before getting into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the A6100 grades vs the T900 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

When you are aiming to carry around your camera often, you have to factor in its weight and measurements. The Sony A6100 comes with physical measurements of 120mm x 67mm x 59mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 2.3") accompanied by a weight of 396 grams (0.87 lbs) and the Sony T900 has proportions of 98mm x 58mm x 16mm (3.9" x 2.3" x 0.6") and a weight of 143 grams (0.32 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you select at the time. Here is a front view size comparison of the A6100 against the T900.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the A6100 and T900 is 81 and 96 respectively.

Quite often, it is tough to visualise the gap between sensor sizes just by going over technical specs. The image underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the A6100 and T900.

As you have seen, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The A6100 using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Sony A6100 will offer extra detail with its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The younger A6100 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
