As you can plainly see, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The HS20 EXR due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF more challenging and the Sony A6000 will produce greater detail having its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos more aggressively. The older HS20 EXR will be disadvantaged in sensor tech.
