To sum up, both the cameras offer different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The E-450 featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower DOF more difficult and the Sony A6600 will provide you with extra detail having its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop pictures a little more aggressively. The older E-450 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
