Often, it is tough to envision the gap between sensor sizes simply by checking specifications. The image underneath should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 60D and A6400.

To sum up, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should expect to see the Sony A6400 to resolve more detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged 60D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
