18.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5 processor.
Below you can see the a3500 and 700D sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony a3500 and Canon 700D Cameras
As seen above, Sony a3500 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon 700D. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Sony a3500
or the
Canon 700D ,
including hyperfocal distance.
