Sony A6500 vs Sony W530

Lets look closer at the Sony A6500 versus Sony W530, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Ultracompact and both are offered by Sony. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the A6500 (24MP) and W530 (14MP) and the A6500 (APS-C) and W530 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor measurements.

Quite often, it can be tough to visualise the gap between sensor measurements just by reading through specifications. The graphic underneath might offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the A6500 and W530.

Plainly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The A6500 because of its bigger sensor will make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony A6500 will give you greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The newer A6500 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
