Sony A6500 vs Sony H400

Following is a thorough analysis of the Sony A6500 versus Sony H400, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both of them are built by Sony. The sensor resolution of the A6500 (24MP) and the H400 (20MP) is fairly comparable but the A6500 (APS-C) and H400 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor sizes.

The A6500 was manufactured 2 years after the H400 which is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Sony A6500 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H400 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go into a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief overview of how the A6500 matches up against the H400 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Alpha a6500 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400. The entire galleries are viewable at Sony A6500 Gallery and Sony H400 Gallery.

For those who are planning to carry around your camera regularly, you will have to consider its weight and proportions.

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary depending on the lens you are utilising during that time. Following is a front view size comparison of the A6500 against the H400.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the A6500 and H400 is 81 and 62 respectively.

In many cases, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes just by seeing specifications. The image here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the A6500 and H400.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The A6500 because of its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Sony A6500 will show greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more modern A6500 is going to have an advantage when it comes to sensor tech.
