More often than not, its hard to picture the gap in sensor sizes simply by looking through a spec sheet. The picture here will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the F300EXR and A6500.

Clearly, the 2 cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The F300EXR with its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Sony A6500 will result in greater detail having an extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop images more aggressively. The more aged F300EXR will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
