Sensors:- Both the cameras Sony A68 and Canon 760D have same resolutions of 24MP .

Before we begin to compare the core specification only we must know that the type of technologies both camera are using, the Canon is a pure DSLR camera and on the other hand the Sony A68 SLT technologies based camera.

In SLT system the mirror doesn’t flip up anytime weather you are shooting via viewfinder of display uni.So, the bit disadvantage of the SLT system due to the fixed translucent mirror is the translucent mirror doesn’t flip-up and LESS light pass thorough the sensor, hence approx 10 to 20% of the light falling on the sensor is consumed by the SLT mirror and as a result the low-light performance is not up to the mark and on the other side the Canon allows full light to fall in the sensor by flipping-up the mirror hence the Sensor performance is optimal.

On the other hand the Canon 760D 19 point AF system is active when you are using viewfinder and when you switch to Live view the Hybrid AF system gets active. Hence the AF system of the Canon 750D is bit more complex but best for DSLR users.

ISO: Despite of having the same ISO range the Canon will perform better in low-light condition compared to Sony A68 SLT camera.

Continuous Shooting Speed:- Sony A68 has continuous shooting speed of 8fps while Canon 760D has 5fps. So, Sony A68 will perform well with better result during capturing fast action objects such as running train or flying birds or any action objects.

Videos:- Sony A68 captures Full HD video with high bit-rate 50Mbps XAVC S format at 60 fps while Canon 760D also capture Full HD 1080p Video Recording at 30 fps.

Hence, the frame per second rate of Sony A68 is definitely faster than Canon 760D, which makes the Sony A68 to capture videos faster compare to Canon 760D.

Verdict – We recommend you to go with Canon 760D camera if you are a still shooter since it based on better technology and also supports many EF and EF-S Lenses on the other hand the Sony A68 is recommend for sports and still shooters.
