Sony S2000 vs Sony A77 II Sensor Comparison

Clearly, both the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The S2000 featuring a tinier sensor will make getting shallower depth of field harder and the Sony A77 II will give you extra detail due to its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The more aged S2000 is going to be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
