As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z16 having a tinier sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A6000 will give greater detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older EX-Z16 is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
