Sony A6300 vs Sony A6700 Sensor Comparison

Often, it can be hard to visualise the contrast between sensor dimensions just by reviewing a spec sheet. The image here may provide you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A6300 and A6700.

Clearly, the two cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Sony A6700 to offer you greater detail due to its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged A6300 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
