Oftentimes, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor measurements just by researching specs. The visual here will help give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the M11 Monochrome and A6000.

As you can plainly see, both cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M11 Monochrome having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Leica M11 Monochrome will render greater detail with its extra 36MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The more modern M11 Monochrome provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
