Typically, it is difficult to visualise the contrast between sensor measurements only by looking at specs. The visual underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the EX-ZR10 and A6300.

All in all, both cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The EX-ZR10 using its tinier sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field more difficult and the Sony A6300 will give more detail having an extra 12MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older EX-ZR10 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
