Sony A6600 vs Sony H300 Sensor Comparison

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.
