Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony A6700 and Canon G1 X III Cameras
As seen above, Sony A6700 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon G1 X III. 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 A6700
or the
Canon G1 X III ,
including hyperfocal distance.
