Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony a3500 and Nikon D3200 Cameras
Sony a3500 and Nikon D3200 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the 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
Nikon D3200 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
