Usually, it's difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes only by reading specifications. The pic below may offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the M-E Typ 220 and A6300.

Plainly, each of the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The M-E Typ 220 because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Sony A6300 will deliver more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The more aged M-E Typ 220 is going to be behind in sensor tech.
