Sony A6400 vs Sony S2000

Following is a extensive assessment of the Sony A6400 and Sony S2000, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Compact and both are offered by Sony. There exists a huge gap between the sensor resolutions of the A6400 (24MP) and S2000 (10MP) and the A6400 (APS-C) and S2000 (1/2.3") offer different sensor measurements.

The A6400 was unveiled 9 years after the S2000 which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Sony A6400 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony S2000 being a Compact camera.

Before diving into a in depth comparison, here is a quick summation of how the A6400 grades vs the S2000 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Sony Alpha a6400 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S2000. The full galleries are available at Sony A6400 Gallery and Sony S2000 Gallery.

In case you're going to carry around your camera often, you'll have to take into account its weight and measurements. The Sony A6400 comes with exterior dimensions of 120mm x 67mm x 50mm (4.7" x 2.6" x 2.0") with a weight of 403 grams (0.89 lbs) while the Sony S2000 has proportions of 98mm x 61mm x 27mm (3.9" x 2.4" x 1.1") having a weight of 167 grams (0.37 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are employing at that time. Following is a front view sizing comparison of the A6400 compared to the S2000.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the A6400 and S2000 is 83 and 93 respectively.

Quite often, it is hard to picture the gap between sensor sizes purely by looking at a spec sheet. The image here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the A6400 and S2000.

Clearly, both of those cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The A6400 having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Sony A6400 will give extra detail having an extra 14MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images way more aggressively. The more recent A6400 should have an advantage in sensor tech.
