Oftentimes, it's difficult to picture the gap between sensor measurements merely by checking a spec sheet. The visual here may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-G1 and A6300.

As you can see, both of these cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-G1 using its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony A6300 will give greater detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The older EX-G1 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
