Oftentimes, it's difficult to picture the contrast between sensor measurements simply by going over a spec sheet. The graphic below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the S2800HD and A6000.

As you can see, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The S2800HD due to its tinier sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field more difficult and the Sony A6000 will deliver greater detail as a result of its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images more aggressively. The older S2800HD is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
