Sony A6600 vs Sony H300

Here is a extensive review of the Sony A6600 vs Sony H300, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both produced by Sony. The sensor resolution of the A6600 (24MP) and the H300 (20MP) is fairly similar but the A6600 (APS-C) and H300 (1/2.3") enjoy different sensor dimensions.

The A6600 was manufactured 5 years later than the H300 and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Sony A6600 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera and the Sony H300 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go in to a full comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the A6600 matches up against the H300 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Sony Alpha a6600 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H300. The entire galleries are available at Sony A6600 Gallery and Sony H300 Gallery.

For anybody who is going to carry your camera, you should take into account its weight and size.

Quite often, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing simply by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual below may give you a much better sense of the sensor dimensions in the A6600 and H300.

As you can see, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The A6600 due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Sony A6600 will offer greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics far more aggressively. The newer A6600 should have an advantage with regard to sensor technology.
