Sometimes, its tough to picture the gap in sensor measurements merely by seeing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the R7 and A6300.
Clearly, the 2 cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit different resolution. You can count on the Canon R7 to show extra detail because of its extra 9 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures a little more aggressively. The more modern R7 provides a benefit in sensor technology.
