Usually, its hard to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements only by reading through technical specs. The visual here might give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the D3400 and E-600.

As you have seen, both of those cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The D3400 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh easier and the Nikon D3400 will give you more detail having an extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The newer D3400 should have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
