            As seen above, Sony A7 II has a 2.3x Larger sensor area than Sony A6300. 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. DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors.
