As you can tell, both of these cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Sony A6000 to resolve extra detail because of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The more modern 4000D will have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
