Normally, it is difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing a spec sheet. The photograph here might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the EX-Z550 and A6000.

As you can see, both the cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-Z550 having a smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A6000 will result in greater detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older EX-Z550 will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
