Sony RX100 VI vs Sony W510

Below, we are looking at the Sony RX100 VI versus Sony W510, one is a Large Sensor Compact and the other is a Ultracompact and both of them are built by Sony. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the RX100 VI (20MP) and W510 (12MP) and the RX100 VI (1") and W510 (1/2.3") use different sensor size.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to picture the contrast between sensor dimensions purely by checking specs. The picture underneath should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the RX100 VI and W510.

All in all, both of those cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The RX100 VI due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Sony RX100 VI will give you greater detail due to its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will help you crop photos much more aggressively. The more modern RX100 VI should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
