More often than not, it is very tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes merely by looking through specifications. The picture below will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the T Type 701 and A6700.

To sum up, both the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can count on the Sony A6700 to provide you with more detail having an extra 10MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more aged T Type 701 will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
