Sony A6300 vs Sony HX200V

In this article, we will be matching up the Sony A6300 versus Sony HX200V, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both produced by Sony. There exists a sizeable gap among the sensor resolutions of the A6300 (24MP) and HX200V (18MP) and the A6300 (APS-C) and HX200V (1/2.3") come with different sensor sizing.

The A6300 was brought out 3 years after the HX200V which is a fairly large gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer different body type with the Sony A6300 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony HX200V being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before delving in to a detailed comparison, below is a brief summation of how the A6300 matches up versus the HX200V in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Normally, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor sizes only by seeing specifications. The picture below should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the A6300 and HX200V.

Plainly, both of these cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The A6300 due to its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony A6300 will produce greater detail having its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures far more aggressively. The fresher A6300 provides an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
