Normally, its difficult to visualize the gap between sensor dimensions only by reading a spec sheet. The picture underneath will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the TL and A6400.

As you can see, each of the cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Sony A6400 to offer you extra detail with its extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos much more aggressively. The more aged TL is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
