Sony A6600 vs Sony H50

Here, we are comparing the Sony A6600 versus Sony H50, one is a Advanced Mirrorless and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom and they are both built by Sony. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the A6600 (24MP) and H50 (9MP) and the A6600 (APS-C) and H50 (1/2.3") offer totally different sensor measurements.

As you have seen, both of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The A6600 because of its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Sony A6600 will render extra detail due to its extra 15MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more modern A6600 will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
