              Sony a6400 vs Sony a7 III - User Opinions

              • yuonne_rippin

                The A7 III uses a 35mm format BSI sensor whereas the a6400 has a smaller APS-C chip. The two cameras do have something in common though: they both offer 24.2MP of resolution. They are both equipped with the latest Bionz X image processor but there is a difference concerning low-light sensitivity.Jan 17, 2019
